TDEE and Summer vs. Winter

Big deficits and lean mass loss
I wrote this on my own wall the other day, but thought I'd mention it here too (with more detail) for those I'm not friends with: I have lost a significant amount of weight twice.

Here's my griping from yesterday:…

I originally lost 36 lbs eating about 2100 calories/day on average though I did the MFP net method - so about 1600 net (and burned an average of 500 calories daily as a runner who was in race…
