MyFitnessPal says maintenance is around 2500kcal - but for some reason it was set to "lose 0.75kg per week", so my target per day was 1650kcal.
No wonder I felt weak and low on energy all the time! No more.
I heard the term "diet fatigue" on Renaissance Periodization first, a fantastic YouTube channel on the science of muscle growth - and Dr. Mike speaks about how it can hit you after several months.
I've been doing this shit for almost 8 years! (not on such a heavy deficit though)
Time to change it up, and to reset my body and my mind, and so what if I can a bit of weight - I need my sanity back!
My original goal for this year was to go from 23% bodyfat down to 15%. Not sure I'll still manage that, but so what.
I will start taking Dr. Mike's advice more seriously, having dedicated maintenance and cut periods, rather than just forever cutting.
Wish me luck!
