thats literally only a once a week cheat meal and i really dont think its putting me over 2k cals. i have about 1k left by the time i eat that meal for dinner and it consists of chicken, broccoli, and a cup of steamed rice... but ill probs stop it and wont eat it once a week then lol.
other than that, i am precise at 2k cals. i was thinking about 18% as well.
Regulate the intake through weekly weigh ins feedback, otherwise known as anchoring.
If your weight hasn't budged for approxmately a month, given no changes in routine & daily life activities and despite 2 caloric adjustments (Lowering the amount), revert back to your intake from before these adjustments and add an extra 100kcal, preferrably to carbs. See what happens over the course of a week to 10 days. Should the weight remain consistent, add another 100kcal.
Eventually, the intake will be synchronized with the activities and will begin to lower once more.
