Advice on calorie tracking
I'm wondering if anyone has found success following a similar eating pattern/strategy. I'm 47M, and I've determined that my maintenance calories are approximately 2,100/day. I'd like to lose approximately ~0.7 lbs per week, but I know that I will always indulge a bit more on weekends. So, 2,100/day maintenance is 14,700/week, and if I want to have a mild to moderate deficit, this would be 13,000/week.
If I target 1,700 calories Monday through Friday, and 2,200 on weekends, is this workable?
Also for reference, I workout 30 minutes 5x per week M-F. Three of those days are strength training, one day of cardio, and one day of stretching/yoga. My goals are to get more lean, lose fat, and gain some muscle.
