That has crossed my mind lately. I know 2400 cal. sounds low but when I wasn't working out I was eating even less. Just a snack or two during the day with a moderate sized supper. It was pitiful actually. I had hoped that by cleaning up my diet and getting back on a regular eating schedule and lifting that I would start to recomp without any other changes but that hasn't really happened.
My greatest fear is this; I would like to compete in a year and a half and if I stay at 2400 cal. throughout the next year, my precontest diet is really going to be hell!
You can see my dilemma. I need to lose fat, slowly bump up calories, gain muscle....
Things were so much easier back when I was in shape. I knew exactly what changes to make and when. My current situation is new territory for me.
