Hi guys,
Just wanting to know do you have drop down your calories once your weight is dropping? I'm currently 73.8 kg and taking in 1880 calories a day.
Thanks

If you want to keep to the rate you're losing at, yes. Usually every 5 to 10 pounds is a good time to recalculate.0

personally i think you likely cut your calories to low to fast....sure you will lose weight faster but it ends up being muscle and fat an overall you will just be a smaller version of your current self with no definition.
Losing weight slowly is the key to maintaining muscle and looking overall better in the end. If it were me i would slowly up calories until maintenance level is found..cut 100-200 calories as needed to keep a .5lb or less loss per week.0 -
