Adjusting calorie intake?

Options

Hello Team!
I started this journey on 12/28/24 at 224 lbs. I’m now at 194 lbs.

I chose to follow the 1600 calories per day plan when I started (I was at 224 lbs).

My question is: now that I’m at 194 lbs, do I need to make adjustments to this 1600 calorie a day plan or continue on indefinitely until I reach my target weight?

Thanks for your help,

Daniel

    if it's a true 1600 cal a day every day then that's gonna take you down to where you need to be.

    Congratulations on your success so far!

    If you're losing at a sensible rate for your current body weight, and happy eating that calorie level, no need to adjust. Generally, it's more health-promoting to lose slower as we get lighter, besides.

    If weight loss rate is faster than sensible, increase calorie goal. If losing slower than satisfying, but faster loss would still be sensible and you can stay generally happy and successful eating fewer calories, adjust calorie goal downward.

    In brief, it's your call.

    Best wishes for continuing success!
