Hi imso, yes i did and in fact overall i was a bigger person so actually had more daily calories in induction
Some context:
I tend to have a good breakfast, lighter lunch as i am often dancing or running around and then a good but early dinner (6.30-7)
I keep an eye on calories as i am trying to make sure i am reading my body signals right so notice in mfp where following the rule eat when hungry leaves me
When i started, mfp had me about 2000cals before exercise, now i am set at 1630 - mfp wants me to reduce due to the last 10kg lost but i am ignoring it as like this amount
and dont particularly want my body to think food is not available!
When i exercise i am usually hungrier so eat all the "extra" cals naturally - if i dont then i sometimes wake up in night hungry
When i dont exercise then usually end up on tgt naturally...unless i drink alcohol - both empty calories and seems to make me hungry
This was a pretty big plate i must admit - i had done 1.5 hrs dancing and gym and didnt need any dessert or extra snacks to last for the 12 hours overnight
As per gary taubes theory, I believe that when i eat well, my body happily wants to burn off the available energy which is why i often feel that i have to get out and dance or go to the gym!
Learning to listen to my body as long as it's not the starving carb monster talking
