Hello everyone,
I have a question for everyone. I recently decided to take my diet to the next level and hence I started counting calories. I was shocked to find out that I was consuming around 1400 cal/daily when I should be consuming 2600 cal/daily( I am 41 years old, 5"9 and weigh 165lbs). I decided to increase my calories gradually over the last 2 weeks. I am upto 2300 cal/daily currently and my question is, should I stay at this rate now as my primary goal is still to lose fat or should I keep increasing untill I hit 2600 cal/daily and then let my body acclimate to that amount of caloric intake before dropping down to 2300 cal/daily?
I appreciate any input...cheers.
