i've been doing the 7 day cycle for 2 weeks and lost 3.2lbs. seems like it's slowing down now. hate to be dense, but am i supposed to be eating back exercise calories or not. still confused. it seems like too many calories if i eat them back.0

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 am in the same boat, 1200 a day is my goal, but i am still 20 lbs away from my goal. What can be recommended for us?
Thank you0 -

I did, for two weeks, then flatlined again.
IF is the only thing that keeps me losing continuously.0 -

Can I be really cheeky? Can u give me advice on this, I am 36, 226lb and have lost 76lb in 2 years but been ok, but not fab over the last 6 months, since really using mfp properly and consistently since June I have lost every week, loosing 17lb in July and august. I am 5 ft 4. My bmr is 1870 and my mfp deficit number is 1540. How would I go about zig zagging? Feel very stuck in a rut, I lost a lot at the start of mfp in July but now I seem to teater around the same weight then through fluke loose by the Friday??? Think doing this might help0

Not sure how this would work for me. I only have about 13 lbs to lose though my body fat is quite high. My maintenance calories are 1690 and my 1lb per week loss calories are 1200. On the calculator I tried for fat loss it suggests that I eat
Mon 1299
Tues 1184
Wed 1559
Thurs 1299
Friday 1184
Sat 1429
Sun 1299
Which is an average of 1322 a day - not convinced I would loose at this rate... that said if I did 2 days at 1200, 1 day at maintenance would this help me continue with weight loss allbeit at a slower rate? Or will it help me trick my body off the plateau. As these are net values I presume that I add in my exercise calories too. If I continue with the plateau I have I may well give this a go - so long as I have got my head around how it works.0
