Caloric Estimates for Fat Loss
Remember that caloric estimates for fat loss are exactly that…ESTIMATES.
They can serve as a starting point upon which to build your diet, but it is the RESULTS that actually dictate whether or not those numbers need to be adjusted.
After a couple of weeks if your results have not proceeded in the correct direction (note: use REASONABLE expectations of progress here) then you adjust up or down accordingly.
Oh…and if you didn’t follow the plan, don’t adjust it. It isn’t the plan that is not working. It is your compliance. Sort that out first.
