I’ve been on a 1400 calorie deficit most days. I know that’s on the lower end, but it’s been working well for weight loss, and I still feel pretty satiated/energised physically. I’m down my first stone now. High protein and fibre are my main macro goals, and it tends to all be pretty low carb/low fat as a result. However, I had my first binge yesterday. The day before I was feeling pretty run down- not energy wise, but mentally. I had a lazy day of supermarket snacks and picky bits- but still stayed within my calorie goal and macros. Yesterday was my first day off after a pretty long week and I truly couldn’t be bothered. I just ate what I wanted and counted it retrospectively, which came to about 2100 calories. Not a huge binge, I know, but I still felt guilty about it.
However, despite that, this morning I woke up and I have lost weight after a bit of a plateau. So now I’m wondering if this sort of cycling could actually be beneficial. Has anyone got experience with calorie cycling long term? Has it hindered your results at all or made it hard to get back on track for lower calorie days?
