Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overestimating activity level. Most people are less active than they think. When in doubt, choose one level lower.

• Setting too aggressive a calorie deficit (more than 500-750 cal/day below TDEE), which can lead to muscle loss and metabolic adaptation.

• Not recalculating as your weight changes. Lighter bodies need fewer calories.
