Caloric intake can be looked at a number of ways. But sometimes it’s best to look at it from far away, the big picture. Let’s say you know your maintenance calories is at 2000kcals/day. You know this because you don’t gain or lose weight when you eat that much per day.
You know it’s 2000 because you actually track in some way, shape or form. Now that that is sorted, you can look at the big picture. 14,000kcals/week is your maintenance.
It’s always a good reminder that weight loss won’t happen if you throw yourself in an accidental surplus which can easily happen in one day, regardless of being in a deficit all week. Just the same as under eating if you’re trying to gain muscle/strength (yes, this is a real thing). However, I get that it’s summer and we gotta live life. Buuut if you actually want to improve on something, you have to do something different than you have before, otherwise those wheels will spin.
