I'm Male, 32 years old, 6ft 235lbs(down from 420)
I recently had seen a plateau in weight loss.
I walk 10-15k steps a day and lift 4-5x a week mostly push/pull as I'm rehabbing a hip injury so legs gets tricky.
According to TDEE I need around 2500-3000 calories to maintain(this is on light exercise setting)
With My Fitness Pal, paired with Google fit for pedometer they estimate I need 4k cals a day.
I cut down to eating between 2500-2800 cals and originally dropped about 10lbs in 2 weeks but I'm a month in now and I've gained the weight back.
Is my body conserving and retaining weight cause my intake is too low? My energy has been low but Im also coming off a head cold and a extra busy couple work weeks.
I'm thinking I need to up to 3200-3500 cals and see the impact after a couple weeks, any insight would be much appreciated.
