3rd week on the bounce more or less at 170 pounds: I think I have finally reached the dreaded plateau! Have done some research online and I think I know why.
My average daily calorie intake is around 1600 (85% of current RDI)
My average daily calorie output is around 2800
BMI is good-ish at 25.1
However, my RMR is around 1580
My TDEE is around 2460
Therefore, I am barely eating enough to keep my RMR in check. So my metabolism has slowed right down and hence the plateau.
So will upscale my RDI from 1800 to 2000,
Ramp up my calorie intake to around 1950,
Move onto the Zig-Zag Diet,
Do more cardio and strength resistance,
Hopefully that may bump up my RMR/BMR, and thus should see some more weight-loss again. (Frustrating since I'm only 5 pounds away from next target!)
(I think I am turning into a nerd with all these stats :))
