Not able to walk for 4-6 weeks
The title says it all. I've been happily maintaining for about a month and now this: My doctor told me I mustn't put ANY weight onto my left leg (due to an edema in my femoral head) .. which basically means very little to no walking for about 4-6 weeks (with crutches outside the house).

Maintenance Mindset
I've reached my goal weight, I'm satisfied with my body and theoretically, I should up my calories for maintenance. However, I'm currently eating ~1500 kcal/day and maintenance would be at >2000 (active job, during the week) or around 1750 (sedentary, weekend).

Different people, different diets
I have been wondering about this for a long, long time. Excuse me if a thread on this topic already exists, I couldn't find anything through the search function.
