![]() ![]() I don't know what your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure, i.e., total calorie burn) might be, but if you're average height (5'10"), we'd expect it to be at least 2200 calories even before considering exercise calories, i.e., that many calories just sitting around. You've been more than twice that, sounds like. Some think it should be even slower than that for the last few pounds, where you're at now.įrom your starting point, 0.5% would've been just under a pound a week. Many of us here think it's a bad idea to lose faster than 0.5-1% of current weight per week (with a bias toward 0.5% if not severely obese), and a bad idea cut calories by more than about 20% of your daily needs (i.e., TDEE). Brains are weird.) All of this is tougher when you're a young person. That same cognitive distortion happens to many/most of us, just not to that pathological degree. (I'm not saying you're anorexic, but anorexics do routinely think they're fat. It's dead common for people who've lost weight not to see themselves clearly after loss (maybe especially after fast loss) and still think they're fat when they're not. Yes, different people will have more or less body fat at any given weight (and the same height) depending on build, but also depending on body composition (how much muscle vs. We don't know how tall you are, so we don't know what 165 means on your body. Maybe even take a break and maintain your current weight for a month or so. That holds the possibility of bigger snap-back in hunger/satiation hormones. I'll be more direct: You lost weight too fast for your starting weight.
