Hi, so I'm not necessarily looking to cut or bulk but I do want to increase my food to have better workouts and performance in the gym. I increased my calories by 100 last week and my weight has maintained. Does that mean I increase by another 100 this week? Thanks! I'm new to this!

    Everyone's body - metabolism, activity level is different. Honestly in order to know it's gonna be through trial & error

    Are you trying to get to maintenance or just a smaller deficit?

    1 weeks data isn't telling you anything.

    If you have not been eating back exercise calories I would increase by 100 more and see what happens over your next full menstrual cycle.

    Giving your stats, routine and calorie intake would be helpful.

    Cheers, h.
