2000 kcals is a way too low for you. My 173 cm girlfriend eats around 2500 kcals daily and stays lean (she is 31 and full of energy, no starving mode etc.). You could be losing FAT (not weight!) at 3500 a day easily while maintaining high energy and great mood. Read more about carbs restricting diets, I think it's much better and healthier choice and you will get sustainable results.
Sure...2000kcals is not low. Ignore Andrewkar...
Ha!YOU FUCKN WOT M8
is she injecting thyroid hormones?
The math is pretty simple. Unless she's expending a massive amount of calories above her BMR via exercise or sitting in ice cold water, or is like 3-4 standard deviations above baseline BMR for a female of her size, 4k calories would be a ridiculous intake.
I'm a 6'3, 195lb guy eating 1900kcal a day at a 40/30/30 P/F/C split and working out 5 days a week. 3 bodyweight / HIIT and 2 pure strength. Granted I'm cutting, but even if I wasn't that would probably go up to about 2700-3000kcal at most.
Thanks guys. To be honest, I'm pretty happy that I've been diligent with my diet and workout schedule for this long. It's my longest run in my life.
I know there's plenty of stuff I need to critique, manage, adjust, and improve upon. I'm taking all that stuff into account and plan on making all of those adjustments. It's just, for me, I'm in no rush. I'm more concerned about sticking with fitness over the long haul than overwhelming myself with "what path should I choose" just yet. There's plenty for me to run on in this thread, and now it's time for me to dig in and read about them all.
Well, human organism isn't a linear system. So "your" math might get a bit useless at that point.The math is pretty simple.
