I've been working out for about 3 months now. I get to the gym 4 times a week which is about all I can fit in to my schedule. I have a full time job, a two year old and an infant, so time is always an issue. I've also been taking whey powder to help build muscle.
I've been eating about 1600 to 2000 calories a day.
I went from about 171 lbs to 156 lbs in that time and then hovered around 156 and 157 for about a week and half to two weeks. The past 7 days were hectic as hell and I didn't get to the gym. In fact I ate whatever I wanted including bacon, ice cream, cake, potato chips, beer, wine etc etc. (It was great!!)
I weighed in tonight and I'm now down to 153 lbs. The scale is acurate and I got on and off just to be sure. It's also the same scale I always weigh in on at the gym and is one of those stand up kind, so I know it's acurate.
Finally getting to the point... have I not been eating enough? I wonder if I haven't been getting enough calories. Any thoughts?
