I'm now in uncharted territory. This is my lightest weight of my adult life.

The diet I'm following is an IIFYM type diet with calorie cycling. I have a range for protein of 0.7-1.0 g/lb LBM, and a limit I try to stay under for fat of 90 g/day. Carbs are flexible based on the calorie target for a day. I try for 1-2 days of lower calories followed by 2-3 days higher. My goal average is 2150 cals/day.

I incorporate strength training as part of my fitness. I also try to get in more NEAT activities such as just walking around, getting out of my chair every half hour, using my desk at work in stand mode, etc. I do get out and run every once in while as well for high intensity exercise (keep my heart rate at >90% estimated max).

I know some don't believe it, but it really is about calories in vs. calories out. Everything else is just a detail.

I hope everyone is having a great Wednesday!
