I plan on finishing the month, I'm not going to slack off this time lol. I've been working on a plateau for a couple of months, and thought about trying the TDEE -20% route, instead of the MFP/eat-back-exercise-cals way. But, I am feeling that when I look at the higher number on my counter, I have more leeway to eat and eat. I'm going back to the lower MFP cals, and if I want to eat more, I need to earn it by exercising more. I think this is best for me and my mindset right now. Thanks for reading and good luck
Yeah for me I do a variant of TDEE - 20% (eat around/under 2000, try to workout minimally 3x per week and log calories burned as 1, so essentially I don't eat them back). This works for my busy schedule now, because when in undergrad I had time for the gym every day or nearly every day of the week, but not so much anymore. And without constantly going to the gym, I felt like I was starving myself on days where I didn't work out. So now I have a consistent 2000 to pick from each day, and try really hard to get those 3 workouts in.
But in undergrad, the eat-back-exercise calories method was great. It was such an incentive to workout, and get high calories burns at that too! It really worked for me at the time, but I've had to make changes that work better with my schedule. Really hope you find success with this!0 -
Thank you, and good luck with your school schedule :-) And great job with the binge challenge !!0

Joining this thread after cutting down alcohol only to find the food has filled the void!
Want to get on top of the food now, whilst working on the reasions why I am using substances for emotions.
Not off to a great start

Yesterday was close. Made really awful food choices (a lot of sweets and junk). Only went over by 3 calories, so not a binge. Today is a new day to make better choices!!0 -

I guess I can just track this month and try to make each month less and less bingy. Trying to focus on not binging makes me think about binging and makes it harder.0
