FAQ
Do I need to track calories forever?
No. Many people track strictly for a learning phase, then maintain results using meal patterns and weekly check-ins.
How often should I adjust calories?
Adjust only after a full week of trend data. Daily weight changes are noisy and should not drive immediate changes.
What calorie deficit works best for steady fat loss?
Most people do well with a 300 to 500 calorie daily deficit, then adjust based on weekly trend, hunger, and gym performance.
