Hello All,
I am a 22 year old female standing 5'4" and weighing 148.5 lbs. at roughly 29% bodyfat. I have been measuring properly to only eat about 1000 calories a day while doing upper-moderate intensity full body weight training workouts 3 times a week with some walking and running mixed in. I have lost about 20 lbs doing this but I am no longer losing weight. I recently received a nutrition and workout plan that suggested I eat 2100 calories a day to lose weight and build muscle and also by doing a little bit more weight training and cardio. I have found out recently that my extreme caloric deficit may have caused my metabolism to slow down too much which is why I'm no longer losing weight.
Can anyone suggest the proper amount of caloric increase daily so I can steadily and safely increase my caloric intake without overloading my metabolism and putting on a burst of fat?
Thank you :)
