Thank you - but even if I don't build much muscle, I assume I will actually be stronger?

Thank you. I thought this was a friendly place, but seems not. To clarify, I have no history of eating disorder and no eating disorder now. There are no red flags, warning bells or any other. Maybe I do not have such a perfect understanding of calories, fat/water weight, dieting, reverse dieting as some, but that is all.

No - I don't have any "other underlying issues" - just maybe didn't phrase that as well as I might have!

Thank you all for your responses. Of course I realise it will take several weeks/months of fine-tuning calories to find my maintenance level. Since I lost another pound during the last week, and am now only 3 pounds above my goal weight, I think I will start to add some calories each week - reverse dieting, I think it is…

I want to avoid a sudden increase, because I am worried about suddenly putting weight back on again before I know what my actual maintenance calories should be. And ... how would I know if I was glycogen depleted?

Thank you everyone, and I will keep my setting as sedentary and try to work out how many calories I can allow for dog walking and mucking out the stable and use them as extra calories for meals out etc. With regard to the OP's question, I think it is fine to go slightly under and then keep these calories for the weekend!…

Sorry to jump in on this thread - hope I am not being rude! - but I have a question about NEAT and purposeful exercise. I have put myself as sedentary, although I dog walk and also muck out horse stable every day but that is not purposeful exercise. My two questions are: (1) How much actual "purposeful exercise" per week…
