how do you only eat that much an not lose weight? man i would need to eat like 10k kcals to weigh 280
Oh, I am sliding down on the scale, almost 2 pounds most weeks. My main goal is to cut another 15-20 pounds (to be sure I'm in a healthy weight range), then to begin a clean bulk.
I used to eat about 3900-4000 four days a week and still lose that weight. At my height, projected weight, and current level of activity, I have to eat about 5200 calories a day (workout day) just to maintain. My normal maintenance calorie range for my size and weight is 3150 calories per day.
The only reason the weight loss slows down like that for me is because of my "power" days. Whenever I go for power, I always end up putting on a little weight, but also losing body fat in the process. I dropped from 15% bf to 14.8% and gained a half pound on the scale. Next week it'll probably show a 2.5 pound loss on the scale and a slight decrease in body fat.
I know, my body works kind of weird like that sometimes - up a half pound and down in bf, then down 2-2.5 pounds and down slightly in bf.
