You do 500 carbs
Can you break this down please
I was joking but 300-375 on a reefed/backload meal is my general range.
Intermittent Fasting/excercise is the best weight loss tool i've ever done

I think I can get to 200..
Just gotta add some oatmeal..and more bananas to my smoothie...
I just don't want the carbs that will cause me to binge eat

Me and @Adam3000 know the easy route:
That said it's all relative to the individual. You have to play around the margins to see what your body can handle.

this past monday i was attempting a refeed but i dont think i even went over 2500 calories
im around the 1400-1800 margin per day, do i have to eat over 3600 to consider it a "refeed"?
Depending on your carb intake and activity level you may not "need" a refeed
Well I just got finished with my first week of IF.(thank god I found this thread) The first day was super hard but i got through it and didn't cheat, I just sipped on water all night. Again I work overnight 7 on 7 off so at night Im moving around the hospital so its easy to get hungry.
Also I don't binge during my feeding window, I find it easier to eat 2 small meals instead of one big one along with my whey protein shakes. My calorie intake deficiency has to be under 2300 to lose weight and i'm well under that daily. The eating part is actually easy. I was already working out daily in the gym since mid may but over the last week I incorporated HIIT and it was hard at first but it's getting easier so I steady increase my speed. The difference is I work out every other day now.
I also do moderate weightlifting, mostly dumbbell arm curls, and bench press incline. My question is should I continue with the weightlifting? I'm really trying to burn the most fat and loose more weight but I would like to tone my muscles as well. I appreciate any advice.
Since May, I definitely see the difference in my face and even my stomach is going down, staying off that salt and limiting the sweets. At one point I was 288, Im down to 240, and now that I'm taking my eating lifestyle serious and with working out, I know I can get to my goal of 200. Reading some of the stories in this thread has motivated me even more to continue with IF.

You should definitely keep lifting. You'll burn more calories than you would if you didn't and your body will use the fat you have stored to sustain your muscle. There's literally no negative, in my opinion, that would warrant you not lifting.
No question you should keep lifting to maintain the muscle you do have. You are talking about losing close to 80 pounds. The worse thing you could do is not maintain muscle and be unhappy with how you look when you look.
I would go as far as saying that if you don't have a lot of muscle now that going all the way down to 200 might not be ideal or healthy

DR Berg and Dr Axe on youtube have some great videos on this
Yeah i do 1400-1800 as well normally...
I try to hit over 2000...
But my carbs are under 70 usually...
So i try to replenish carbs..
3 hamburgers(no bun) are like 1k calories
then i pack a smoothie with peanut butter/bananas/spinach/kale/milk/maca/protein
that usually lasts me the whole day unless i sacrifice water
So basically you gotta kinda let your stomach digest for awhile and go for it again
I'm back on IF as of last week (find it more convenient for my eating habits) added in with flexible dieting/counting macros, which I've been doing. Fat loss has been good so far, trying to be lean for the Olympia booth for work in Sept and be around 8% before the start of the holidays. Im good on 3 meals, 4 max.
I've remained at 213 for 2 weeks now
I'm trying to hit that 210
Should I cut off the weight lifting for a week or 2?

What is cutting the weight lifting supposed to do? If you're not losing, either you're not working out as intensely as you should, or you're eating too much.
It might be a wrap for the if thing...
