18F, 5’4, 130 lbs. I recently took being on a deficit seriously. I had never done one properly before since I didn’t really care, and the main thing that contributed to me actually doing it was downloading My Fitness Pal lol. Beforehand, I used to write it all down myself, which was taunting as a busy college student. It became so easy to just input the stuff on the app while cooking that I’ve stuck with it since. I’m a vegetarian, so it’s not that difficult for me to make “swaps” to veggies (like zucchini instead of pasta) that other people would consider nightmarish.
The main thing that would skyrocket my calorie intake I would say used to be my excessive use of olive oil. I learnt to cook watching ppl like Ramsay and Pierre White, so it seemed normal to do so. But when I learnt how many calories oil actually has I was taken aback. I’ve stopped using so many since, and I’ve noticed how unnecessary it was to use so much anyway.
My deficit limit is supposed to be 1,670 Cal. I workout regularly so I increase the amount of calories I can eat even more. The thing is I’ve been ending the day and I have so many calories left to spare. I am NOT starving myself. I would say I eat even more than I used to and I’m serious about that.
Yesterday I went to bed with 400 Cal left to eat. I’m just worried since it seems like I’m eating so little. It doesn’t feel okay to eat such few calories since I want my body to have the necessary fuel.
Should I eat even if I’m already stuffed from previous meals or simply not hungry? I even have snacks in between and I still can’t meet the calories sometimes. I’m afraid something like this might lead to disordered eating, and I REALLY don’t want that. What do I do?
