About a month ago I started lifting weights about three times a week (60-70 min each session following the strong curves program). I want to put on some muscles and get stronger but also lose fat, but I don't know how to recalculate my calories to get optimal progress since it can be hard to do those at the same time.
I'm currently eating around 1800 kcal a day on a deficit and have been doing that since I began to lose weight (began at 500 kcal deficit now it's less than that since I weigh less). That number is based on tdeecalculator.net and a sedetary lifestyle at the beginning of my journey.
When I recalculate to moderate exercise (3-5 days a week) I get 2769 kcal maintainance so 2269 at the deficit that I'm comfortable with, but I don't know if I should calculate it at that because I move very little during the day outside of working out, maybe 4000 steps on a good day, is 2269 going to be to high to still lose fat? My current sedetary is calculated at 2144 kcal without a deficit, so should I do something in between those two numbers or just do some trial and error testing?
