Hi there
i have followed a low carb eating plan. not atkins or that just reducing my carbs and not eating white flower or sugar at all. my question is that i found out my BMR is about 2500 - 2600 now i eat about 1800 at a struggle now . i kinda put on 9 lbs from 14 st 10 lbs and i really want to get this back down. shouldi eat 1800 ? should i eat more on gym days? if i do eat 1800 can this put weight on? i know that as a male i need 2500 to maintain.
another question is that how big a deficit can i use? i used to eat very little maybe up to 1500 calories if that then i would be burning about 600 - 800 in the gym just with cardio. what kind of deificit can i leave? what safe? and the last thing is that can drinking fizzy sugar free juice such as Diet Irn bru or coke zero or even sugar free energy drinks effect weight loss. i was drinking sugar free energy drinks for about 3 weeks. about a 1L + a day . can this hinder weight loss or even cause gain? as i say i follow a low carb lifestyle and my blood sugar level is usually quite good but can even sweetners cause a imbalance in my blood sugar the same way sugar can ? and i heard coffee can do this to well caffiene
