    Has anyone tried reverse dieting?

    @vireak I ate 1300 consistently for a little over 5 months. I think the working from home part is definitely a challenge. I have a busy/on your feet all day type of job that gives me the 8k steps per day. If you’re sticking to 1200, I feel like actual working out more may be difficult (I know it...

    Opinions on calories - going from weight loss to building muscle

    Hello everyone! I’m feeling at a loss regarding how much I should be eating. I am 4’9” and recently lost 30 pounds (123 to 93). I was eating an average of 1300 kcal per day. My activity level is about 8,000 steps per day, and I do Olympic-style weightlifting twice per week (snatches...
