Maintenance mode for the holidays- how many calories?
So I'm going out of weightloss mode, into maintenance mode for the next 2 weeks. I'm afraid if I try to lose weight, Ill be discouraged by inevitably going over. Maintenance mode gives me a more reasonable goal. I'll still be working out & watching what I eat, but I'll have a little leeway.
Right now I eat a max of 1550 calories per day and losing. How many do you think I can go to for maintenance? I was thinking 1750-1800?
I know I could figure this out using a BMR rate calculator, but I'm more interested in advice from personal experience. Thanks!!
Anyone else doing this for the holidays, BTW?
