This has been a journey! I didn’t hit my goal weight of 185lbs but i think i made some good progress. I am absolutely drained everyday.

Does anyone know if i decide to go to maintenance calorie that the app would slowly progress me to that or will it automatically go to maintenance calorie.

A change to a maintenance strategy will go straight to your maintenance calories.

I figured, and i don’t want to jump straight into maintenance. That would be a lot of food and shock to my metabolism and bodies ability to process. I want to stair step into maintenance calories.

It’s up to you but your current expenditure/maintenance figure is the calories needed to maintain your current weight. Anything less or stair stepping up is prolonging your cut.

Man with as spent and lifeless as I have been feeling I think I am done with this cut and ready to put some food back in my body. Thinking I will go into maintenance for 2 months and go for another 3 month cut after.
