What's your bodyweight and maintenance calories?

My bw: 215

Maintenance calories: 2300 calories

I do 1~1.5 hrs of physical activity every day (either lifting/bjj/boxing/running), but I don't really move my body much otherwise.

I can easily consume 3~5k calories, so cutting at ~2000 calories or below fooking sucks.

Ive noticed that what you eat also effects how much you spend. Like if you eat candy you wont burn as much calories processing it.


youre underestimating your tdee. 2300 is fitness chick territory
Yeah 2300 seems really low for my bodyweight, but I really don't move much at all outside of my daily exercise so maybe that's why.

Tempted to hop back on EC stack to suppress my appetite, but I quit caffeine about a year ago so don't want to become reliant on stimulant again.

Pretty bottom heavy.

My waist measurement is 36.5 and my leg measurement is 26.5.

Lifting stats: 225x6 incline / 470 squat / 315 power clean.

I used to cut at ~3000 calories weighing like 190, but I also walked around 2~3 hrs daily.
