Since the start of this year have been trying to cut. I'm 98kg, bout 22% BF and have been keeping up the weight training to maintain muscle mass.
I've been hitting my macros, taking in the right proportion of protein/fats etc and eat about 2000 cals but have barely moved the scales. My weight fluctuates 1 to 2 kg's. I have maintained my strength but is getting hard to keep it where it is taking in 2000 cals.
So anyway, over easter thought I'd just have a blowout, lots of chocolate, ate take away most nights, carton of beer, bundy and what not and really ate until I was satisfied. By the end of the weekend I hit 96kg??? WTF??
I have heard and not sure if it's true but taking in too few calories can hinder fat loss, is this true? Why would I lose weight when I am more than likely doubling my calories for each day?
My metabolism is fine according to a blood test I had done a little while ago and everything is working like clockwork on the inside.
Thoughts?
