Thats the crazy thing

According to those formulas I should be eating 2016 cals a day to maintain

In practice I feel like 2500 might be my maintenance (from attempting to bulk at that level and not gaining any weight)

Everybody metabolism different

Those formulas are a good starting point though

I also think the TYPE of food you eating can make a difference. I eat pretty clean, so I need 2500, maybe if I had more sugars and stuff 2300 might be enough

TFW you check the scale and you still the same weight from 2 weeks ago, even though you added 250 cals a day since then

Body weight in lbs x 14 (aka ur maintenance Cals)

Subtract 250

That number is the calories to eat every day for as long as you wanna recomp

Keep protein high. Like 1-1.2lbs per pound of BW

You will recomp. Pay attention to the mirror and pics, don’t expect the scale to move any, if at all.
