ADVANCED. (Re-Evaluating Your Needs)

Sometimes you need to re-evaluate your needs to ensure you stay on target for your desired body. By this, I mean you may have planned to bulk for 16 weeks followed by 3 weeks of Keto, but you may have found that you have made it to week 10 and are at a higher bodyfat level than you previously planned for.

When we hit these kinds of points, we need to make a decision as to whether we stick to the original plan, or strategically alter it in order to keep our body in check. If you’re aiming for 8% Body Fat and were at 10% before bulking, and have blown out to 16% - you’ve been doing some of your calculations wrong, and shouldn’t continue on this path.

So instead of seeing out your plan, you’re best to re-evaluate your needs, and redo your calculations. You may have to switch drastically, but it’s for your own good.

The next part to re-evaluating is that your dietary needs will change as you put on and lose weight. Your caloric needs for maintenance at 90kg will be dramatically different at 100kg, so if you expect to keep putting on size with the same diet you’re in for a shock – you’re going to need to increase the calories as your body is now using much more than it previously was.
