My energy levels have really increased after bumping up my calorie intake by 250 per day this week. Had been in a calorie deficit for about 4 months and time for a re-feed! Bumped up my weight training and push mowed the lawn today (pushed the mower for 1.9 miles). Feeling good to have made it to 12% body fat. Women shouldn’t go this low in body fat. Some guys at the gym say they keep body fat levels at 8 to 10%. Not me.

Agree with the increase in calorie intake. I have been on a plateau and it helped kickstart my metabolism and gives me more energy in the gym. Great job with your success 👍

I may be tweaking mine soon as well. I'm in maintenance and I need a switch up.

I have read that the metabolism will adapt to use fewer calories after several months of calorie reduction. I love salted nuts and these make it easy for me to bump up my calorie consumption. I was shocked to learn that a food prepared at home has half the calories as a restaurant. Look at a Sonic menu and one can easily consume 2000 calories for lunch.
