So back in September I calculated my TDEE based on the following numbers

29,642 calories consumed
3 1/2lbs lost
over 21 days...

this is the first 3 weeks I had my food scale so I was being super duper accurate. I was doing 30 day shred non modified 5x a week with 8-10lb weights...

It worked out to 1995...I worked out -20% and -15% @ 1600 and 1700 respectively.

I tried to keep at TDEE-20% but it actually averaged (with holidays and special occasions) to TDEE-15% so 1700. Where my goal sits now, but thinking I need to add another 100 calories a day as I am so close to maintenance...*scares the crap outta me*

But I have officially hit the 10lb net loss since I originally calculated my TDEE...so it's that time again...eek, mind you my previous TDEE using the calculation worked out great obviously...

I did it based on these number

39294 consumed
2.5lbs lost
over 21 days...

2287 is what it works out to...

Does it sound reasonable that after 6 months of lifting, 10lbs lost that my TDEE would go up almost 300?

I mean I am willing to play with my numbers etc and work up to 2200 etc but I guess I just don't want to get my hopes up that I can eat lots of the foodzzzzzzz...:happy:

And to my comment about it scares the crap out of me is true...it's a weird feeling both good and bad...scared I am gonna screw up even tho I have a plan in place etc...just scary after being in deficet for over a year to know it's going up.
