i was wondering if anyone has done calorie cycling before ? because i was thinking of doing it. Ive thought that if i ate 1200 calories on days tues,thurs, sat when i dont goto the gym and 1400 calories on the days i do goto the gym would that be classed as calorie cycling and would i be losing weight from it ?

    I've done it, did it last year and it was very effective.

    This site, http://www.answerfitness.com/316/zig-zag-dieting-fitness-nerd/, tells you all about it. It even includes a link to a website that can calculate a calorie cycle for you. (I do find that the link that calculates for you over estimates the calories some so just use your judgement).

    i have cycled my calories for a few months now, I don't have a specific routien or anything, I just see that if I have had a high day, I will try and make the next day a low day but basically, I just make sure i eat a certian number of calories a week not a day. It works well for me x

    I do this and have been seeing the inches flying off my body in just a few short weeks. I dont have a scale to tell me how much i have lost, but its alot.
