I have read the sticky on figuring my TDEE. My conundrum lies in where to start. I calculated using both my current weight (211 - YUCK!😝) and my goal weight (160). My goal weight is not a "hard" number as I'm mainly concerned with strength and health, but it's a point to strive for. If I stop and maintain before I get there.....eehhh...no big deal. So the numbers I get from the linked calculator in the sticky are as follows:
Current weight:
maintenance: 2395
fat loss: 1916
extreme fat loss: 1688
Goal weight:
maintenance: 2067
fat loss: 1653
extreme fat loss: 1280
I just started another round of LIIFT4 on Beachbody (which is combo weights with some HIIT). I gained weight but lost 3.5" the last round. I still need to calculate my protein and fat numbers (I assume I use current weight for that), but what should I start with on the total calories? Should I start with goal weight maintenance amount and adjust from there? Should I just use current weight numbers and re-calculate as I lose?
I'm a total newbie when it comes to lifting heavy or even semi-heavy. I also have an auto-immune disease that can affect my muscles, so I want to stay strong to keep that under control (I have full approval for workouts from doctor BTW). But I also want to make sure I'm taking care of myself while I do this, and do it as healthily as I can.
So....what's your thought/opinions? Thanks in advance!
