How to zig zag cals properly/caloric cycling properly

Starting to zig zag today!:happy:

Starting to Zig Zag today.
Question????
I am doing exercise daily,
Mon and Wed - 30 days shred,
Tue - midium exercise (around 300 cal),
Thru to Sat - High intent exercise (around 450 cal).
Do we eat more when you are doing exercise along with zip zag?

bump. interesting. I will have to try this

I've read it and all the different comments etc, I even understand it, but it just seems so bizarre! I am a generally sedentary female 5'8" who weighs 228 pounds. My 2 pound loss goals set me at 1200 calories a day.

To do this zig zag, I would reset to losing 1 pound a week, which has me for 2239 maintaining/1739 losing/ 800 max 1439.
So day 1 1439
Day 2 1439
Day 3 2239
Day 4 1439
Day 5 1439
Day 6 2239
Day 7 1439
Day 8 1439
Day 9 2239
Keep Repeating the 3 day cycle.

My thing is, how will my body lose more weight eating sooooo many more calories per week than originally?

Bump because I'm experiencing the dreaded early plateau

Hi, I'm on 1200 calories per day and almost near goal. I've hit a plateau that I need to push past. Do you have to zig zag so dramatically? I don't really want to eat too much less than 1200. Could I just have 1000 one day and 1400 the next and so on? Would I be able to eat exercise calories on top of that? Any info would be good. Thanks!

I've always found zig zagging so confusing, but you really cleared it up for me! Thank you so much!! I'll be trying this starting tomorrow.

Bump
