Rolling 48s

Hi so i'm 6'4 and weigh roughly 290 pounds with \~30% body fat and workout everyday(Alternate bodyparts to give others rest), and my maintenance calories are calculated as \~3500 give or take. My routine is basically: Monday and Tuesday: 0 kcal Wednesday: 3500 kcal Thursday and Friday: 0kcal Saturday: 3500 kcal Sunday: 0 kcal But i weighed myself at the end of the week and realized i hadn't lost any weight. Please help. Am i doing anything wrong or can i correct anything?

Answer

Not completely sure how you got that maintenance calories. I’ve just ran your numbers on a first one that google came up with and approximate BMR was under 3k cals. But that should still put you in a deficit.

If you eat carbs in the non-fasting time, the weight and especially water will fluctuate. 1 week isn’t long enough to actually measure the fat loss (by weighing). So keep at it and weigh at the same time, under same circumstances (right after waking up and going to the toilet, the same day - e.g. sunday morning).
