Wow, did I really put on the pandemic pounds!
I was about 220 prepandemic and struggling to lose the weight, then the pandemic hit and I rose to 240. It's been about four months and I've managed to get down to 233lbs. My friends and me kept telling myself that my plan was all right and I just needed more time to let my body adapt to losing weight.
But it's gotten to the point where I don't think my original plan of Intermittent fasting with 1600 net calories, with an hour long hike every day (S Health says ~450cal burned) is cutting it.
I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers for if I'm going to far, or not far enough, with my new goal:
Intermittent fasting, with eating period between 4pm-10pm, 1000cal daily net intake of generally Stir Fry Chicken, Eggs, salad or broccoli, BCAA powder on days where I lift, two Zero Sugar Gatorades (I switched away from Pedialyte to cut unnecessary sugar). Snacks of mine generally include popcorn, sugar-free Jell-O, and diet Coke.
On days where I hike or bike, I track my calories burned, and allow myself to eat up to that amount extra. 1000cal budget, with 450cal burned on a hike, giving me a budget of 1450cal for the day.
Can anyone let me know if this will work? It's frustrating to try a caloric budget for a few weeks just to see no results and realize that you need to lower it again, then knowing if you go too low, you risk burning out.
