Well... I've struggled losing weight. Not that I want to lose much, but maybe 8ish pounds. I started working out 19 months ago, and I literally started out using soup cans; recovery from accident/surgeries. I saw muscle gains, but needed to lose that stubborn belly fat.
Being 5' 7" and weighing 160 pounds, I kept my calorie intake around 1500. Still nothing, tried the CARB cycling, still nothing. My strength gains however were amazing, so I knew progress was happening. I also was trying to figure out why my resting heart rate was still in the mid 70's. I do have tachycardia, so I was thinking maybe something to do with that?
With how hard I was working out, I read I should be eating around 2100-2300 calories, but that scared me. I didn't want to gain fat, and that's a lot of calorie intake each day. I started eating the higher calorie amount; however, I had to eat a little crappier to get that amount in me each day. Low-and-behold, I went from 152ish (I stated earlier 160, but that was from the beginning) to 145.6. My body fat using the hand held form is showing 18.5, and the fat calipers, are showing 19%. My resting heart rate is now consistently showing 67. I'm a little confused by everything. Not complaining, but confused. When I was eating less (super clean) keeping at around 1500 calories, nothing was happening. Now I'm eating not as healthy, and seeing remarkable changes?
