tina.and.tito's Journal, 27 May 21

Took a hard look at my last few months of calories in vs calories out and realized I've slowly and unintentionally been upping my intake, while also increasing my workouts. There have been many days (and weeks) where I've gone wayyyyy past my RDI (was 1600) but even on the days i was good i wasn't able to keep it under 1600. Yet i managed to maintain/lose.

I recalculated my RDI for very slow weight loss, at my current weight and activity level and realized my RDI is actually back up to 1800. I typically ate this much in a day anyways, because I recognized that's how much I needed to fuel myself... but it feels better knowing I wasn't making up an excuse in my head to eat more! Looking forward to more days ahead without seeing "110% over your RDI" at the bottom of my screen!!!

Funny enough 1800 is what I first started with back in Spring of 2019 to lose my initial 20 pounds, then dipped down to 1600 to get another 20 off.

Happy Thursday Fat Secret Friends! Hope everyone has a great day!!
