Heres the link I gave you earlier. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/119-new-rules-of-lifting-for-women-nrol4w- OR http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/102-new-rules-of-lifting-for-women-nrol4w

Oh ok, i see you stated that in your initial post! Sorry! You can do a 10% cut off your TDEE. You can definitely increase upward slowly to get your body used to the extra calories.

Hi and welcome! So glad you found us! Feel free to add me for support! I suggest you go with the moderately active number. Are you at your goal weight and maintaining now?

That spread sheet is just one of many calculators you can use, its not part of EM2WL. Yes smaller deficits will keep your appetite satisfied and more likely to stay consistent. So I would say go higher, listen to your body.

I love this!! :flowerforyou:

Thats amazing! Keep up the awesome work! :drinker:
