@primetrain: For a long time I thought the leaner I wanted to be, the less I had to eat. I’d already dieted down, got lean, and then convinced myself I had to stay around 1,800–2,000 calories forever if I wanted to keep looking good. The problem was I had no energy. My training suffered. I wasn’t building much muscle. I was constantly thinking about food, counting everything, and slowly getting into that restrict → overeat → restrict cycle. And outside the gym, I probably wasn’t the happiest person to be around either. There’s absolutely a time for lower calories. I have clients dieting on numbers around this range right now because for their body, goals and current phase, it makes sense. A calorie deficit is sometimes required to lose body fat. But a dieting phase is exactly that… a phase. You’re not supposed to spend your entire life eating as little as possible. Once I slowly increased my food, everything started improving. More carbs. More energy. Better sessions. Better recovery. More strength. More muscle. Better mood. And eventually, a better physique. 3,750 calories isn’t the magic number either. It’s simply what works for my body and activity now. The biggest lesson I learnt was that food isn’t the enemy. Sometimes the next step towards a better body isn’t eating less. It’s learning how to properly fuel the one you’re trying to build. ❤️

Mitchslap :

so how do you do this? Just add 50 calories a week or every month and when do you got the top out or peak? is there a top ? I'm I've been on 2200 calories for a few months now and would like to build up to around 3k if I can stay lean. would you cut calories more to get down to a lean as you want before this reverse dieting?

leasingbuddy :

If i eat 3000 kcal per day, go work and gym everyday, i come fat, but if i eat 1800kcal i come clean
