i posted this on the diet board but its slow there and i dont anticipate any responses. so here we are. My main concern is how long do i need to eat at maintenance? Maintenance is about 3800 with my current cardio load. However, i think (not sure) my metabolism may be slowed so it may be lower. I am trying to get around 3500 a day during this maintenance phase. Should i cut cardio down to 2-3x a week instead of 4-5 during the maintenance phase?
right now i am eating about 2800 calories a day and doing about 40 min cardio 4-5 times a week. the cardio burns roughly 600 calories per session.
I am going to eat maintenance for a week or so, then when that week is over i will start green tea extract (for a metabolism boost), 45 min. cardio 4-5 days/week and 2700 calories a day in the hopes that these 3 things, which provide about a 300 calorie deficit extra a day will rejump weight loss.
How long should my maintenance phase before i restart dieting be? i have heard 1 meal, 2 days and 2 weeks on EF so far. Does anyone have any scientific (preferably) or personal stories of how long i should eat maintenance?
should i eat at maintenance or above maintenance (by 200 calories or so).
