Consequeses of calculating TDEE wrong
Hi
I was wondering if you guys could share some opinions on what happens if you go wrong when calculating TDEE or macros on a diet.
Lets say you want to help out a friend. He says how much he works out, how much he eats, his goals etc.
He wants to lose BF, maintain musclemass and do it in a little time-frame.
If you miss-calculate his TDEE, he told you he is not very active, he does little to no cardio. So you have him at a low TDEE, say 2500kcal a day. And on a diet you recommend him around 2000kcal with 40/40/20 macros as a standard. He also uses a little test E so he wont lose musclemass.
After some time(8-10weeks) you meet him up and he has lost alot of weight, has no energy, and really struggles some days. As an example we could say he got caught up with diet and wanted faster result and started cardio and a more active lifestyle so he really got a TDEE around 3100kcal.
Questions.
This is just an example, but if a misscalculation of 500kcal or more on TDEE, will this just make him lose fat faster, or will it make him lose musclemass?
How will the result be of upping his kcal-intake after such a long time? Reason for upping is energylevel.
If the TDEE was even MORE of a miss, like 1500kcal, how will the result then become?
Please share your thoughts...
