Hi Everyone!

Im new to MFP community and wanted to know who has done New Rules of Lifting for Women. Is it possible to do it w/ the caloric deficit given by MFP or is it better to do the caloric deficit suggested by the book? Im 5´9", about 200lbs. MFP is recommending about 1650 kcal, NROFLW suggest about 1950kcal. Has anyone done it and had results? My goal is to lose about 35lbs but I wanted to include some strength training for toning.

    I am still in stage 1. I had to increase my calories. My dog was looking like a T-bone steak. I was so hungry all the time. I'm 5'2" and eating 1900. Not seeing much loss, but I will be doing measurements again in a few days. I'm more interesting in strength and health than weight loss. That will come with time.

    There is also a group on here for NROL4W:

    ETA: some days I am way higher than that though. Up to 2500.

    i've done it.

    i think it's possible mainly because what i found was that in the stages after stage 2 it's harder to progress with the weights because the moves get more complicated

    Thanks for the input. I'll try with the 1600 at first and move up to the 1900 if I'm hungry. I think 2100 was on workout days but I can imagine eating that much.

    it would be about the same if you eat your MFP exercise cals back.
