I've been trying CICO for the past month (for the first time) and it's going well. I was consistently averaging 1900 calories/day which is my target loss rate for the week (~1 lbs/week). I have my meals down and they mainly consist of clear broth with a leafy green ~80cal, thin sliced beef, tofu, and ~100Cal of noodles. I varry beef and tofu until I hit 600 cal for the meal. Working out was going to the gym and lifting or some cardio through workout classes. It was consistent and easy to change my caloric intake per number of work outs.
Anyways I went snowboarding this weekend and everything went off the rails. I couldn't find any information on how many calories burned so I just stuck to my normal amount for a workout day and added 500 hundred on top since I'm out from 9am-3 with a 1 hr lunch. My leg cramped in a new and interesting way and I almost fell asleep at lunch until I ate some more food. I must have been at a deficit because I was feeling rough and I could hear my stomach all day.
Does anyone know how to estimate calories for something that varies so wildly? Some days I just cruise, but some days I'm jumping off small cliffs and digging myself out of large piles of snow which is like swimming but so much worse.
Feeling pretty frustrated right now because it was going so well but I'm going to be snowboarding all winter and I have no idea how to meal plan anymore. Going off of vibes just feels like going backwards to how I used to over eat. Any tips or ideas are very appreciated!
