Ok I was eating a maintenance intake of about 2800 (give or take a few hundred depending on work) calories a day, for about 3 weeks before starting my cycle. I meticulously weighed everything I ate and drank to come up with that number, in preparation for the cycle.
Now that I’ve started it I’m getting mixed signals from my body. I most certainly feel hungry most of the time. Nothing extreme but annoying, but my body is definitely telling me to eat more, but at the same time I’m seeing the numbers on the scale go up so that’s reassuring.
But I guess my question is: should readjust my intake a bit? My macros? I eat crazy clean lately. Mainly veggies and brown rice for carbs and chicken and fish for protein, avocado and almonds for fats (which I am conservative about). Maybe I should drop the protein a bit and get more fats in? Been averaging about 1.6 Gs/LB of protein. Not really sure what is going on to be honest. Before starting the cycle I was completely comfortable eating those 2800-3000 calories a day and I hadn’t lost any weight over the course of 3 weeks.
