Hi TDEE is an estimation and it varies from person to person so eating up to it can slow down or prevent weight loss.
There are several things you can do,
First of all check that you’ve calculated it correctly, many of us over estimate the amount of exercise we do.
Then you can take a look at what you are eating as it does help to make healthy choices such as cutting out things like sugar, cereal and other processed carbs, and lots of foods labelled low fat or fat free such as yoghurt contain a lot of sugar so should be avoided.
I’m guessing that you are counting your calories every day and not guessing. If you aren’t counting it would be worth doing so to ensure you aren’t eating more than you think.
Good luck 🙂
Eating to your goal weight TDEE is a ggod idea and quite a few do so. It also means less adjustments when you get there.
Hello, I’ve been eating my goal weight TDEE since last March.
My goal weight TDEE is 2000 cal/day, or 14000 cal/week. So two days per week I consider fasting days and I don’t eat very much, and the remaining five days I can average more than 2000 calories. I enjoy counting calories and keep track of everything I eat and drink. My goal is to end each week at 14000 calories or less; if a week is looking like a big-eating week I may add a third fasting day at the end of it.
It’s been working out well for me and I’ve been losing more than a pound a week since I began (perhaps helped because I walk a lot).
I like it because I’m not really dieting; I’m just eating as I should to reach and maintain the weight I want to stay at.
If you’re not losing perhaps you’re not counting calories accurately enough. I suggest focusing on accurate counting for a week to determine if you need to make any corrections.
