yes, it doesn't matter what calories are at any time of the day or which day of the week as long as the final balance at the end of the week is negative.
The body isn't a machine so it's more about the trends over a period of time
thats where that Adaptive TDEE app helps out
Now the next dilemma is how do you burn so much calories required to go in the -500, if lets say in a day I average 1500 - 1800 calories.
Adding in my daily core workout in the morning, which may burn around 300.
How do you manage to burn enough calories to get in the negative. Exercise only burn a couple of calories a minute.
Any exercise that burns a lot of calories.
Shouldn't be hard to burn over 2000 calories living like a normal person that moves around unless you play video games all day long.
Just walk around and do more chores, work etc
Most people will burn at least 500 over their bare minimum calories burnt just by being alive, unless you sit on your ass all day long
I myself burn around 2800-3000 and I'm sleeping and sitting on my ass most of the day, the stretching, soft tissue and mobility work and 1-2 hours of exercise I do each day bumps me up from 1800 or so BMR to that number. If I play video games all day long I only burn 2000
Stretching, mobility work and soft tissue work is good stuff and burns a decent amount of calories that doesn't tax you and can only benefit you in the long run. Do an hour each day and your laucghing.
Then go walk for 30 mins or do more chores, easy 500 calories burnt.
Lots of things could burn 500 calories when done for 30-60mins, like BBall, sprint intervals etc, but sustaining it everyday is not likely.
And you could end up with long term tendon issues like me from them....
If not just eat 500 calories less by cutting out luxuries
In any case getting lean isn't easy, if it was everyone would be ripped.
Just takes discipline for a period of time and make it part of your life style
