Calorie Adjustment

[tnfirefighter]

How often should calorie intake be adjusted, based on weight loss? When weight loss stops, or should it be a gradual drop weekly or monthly?

I'd say when it stops.

If you're getting healthy amounts like 2lbs a week, and essentially no effect on things like weightlifting ability, then its almost certainly pure Fat loss, and unless it stalls, or you start experiencing things like increased fatigue, or abnomalities, then no real need to alter dietry intake I think.

the easy way - everytime it stops

the hard but probaby more accurate way - weekly

it also depends on what wt you lose too...if you lose 10pds of fat but your wt is still the same then you've also gained 10pds of muscle which means you'll need to increase cal's to fuel the extra muscle you have
