Updated Calorie Budget
After recalculating my numbers for this upcoming week, it occured to me that the reason I may have lost so much muscle was becuase…get ready for it…I wasn’t eating enough.
Sounds crazy, but since I was exerting much more energy (thanks cross-fit!), yet still restricting my calorie intake based on my previous week’s results, it would only stand to reason that I would lose lean body mass. Right?
There’s only one way to find out. I’m upping my calorie budget this week to reflect my new cross-fit / running regimen in the hopes that this solves my “problem”.
***Fingers crossed***
BMR (Base Metabolic Rate): 1850 calories
TDEE (total daily energy expenditure): 2868 calories
3x Low Calorie Days (30% below TDEE): 2007 calories
1x High Calorie Days (TDEE): 2868 calories
