Can I tell you the best part about eating above 2,000 calories?…
Okay firstly, congratulations if you’ve realised that being in a calorie deficit actually sucks.
Secondly, if you’re eating below 1400 calories we need to talk.
The best part about eating over 2,000 calories is that you actually have more food freedom and more flexibility.
You have more energy.
You have more chance of lifting heavy.
You’re less moody & irritable.
Increasing your calories & focusing on building muscle has so many benefits.
Being in a deficit can feel restrictive.
Rigid.
Challenging.
But actually setting your calories to maintenance allows you to feel so much more in control over Easter.
A lot of you try to stay in a crazy deficit over the Easter weekend but what does that actually do?
You mentally know you’re going to blow your calories so you say “fk it” & go wildddddddd anyway.
So what’s the point of setting unrealistic expectations?
Spend more time at your predicted maintenance (which for majority of you is 1800-2,000+) & you’ll be surprised by what that actually does for you mentally.
Food freedom is a privilege.
The more muscle you build, and the less time you spend dieting on lower calories, the more time you have to build your metabolism.
When you build your metabolism, you have greater chance of eating MORE, without gaining fat.
Think about that..
