如何计算Calorie Cycling

learn.whatIsHeading

Calorie cycling (also called calorie shifting) involves alternating between higher- and lower-calorie days while maintaining the same weekly calorie deficit. The 5:2 approach uses 5 lower-calorie days and 2 maintenance days. Proponents claim it reduces metabolic adaptation to dieting and can improve adherence by providing psychological relief on higher-calorie days.

公式

Set a weekly calorie deficit target (e.g. 3,500 kcal/week = 0.5 kg/week loss)

分步指南

1Set a weekly calorie deficit target (e.g. 3,500 kcal/week = 0.5 kg/week loss)
2Low days: 200–400 kcal below daily average
3High days: at maintenance (TDEE) — psychological benefit
4Weekly average equals same deficit as straight dieting

例题解析

输入

TDEE 2,500 kcal — 5:2 cycle, −500 deficit

结果

Low days: 2,100 kcal × 5; High days: 2,500 kcal × 2 = weekly avg 2,186 kcal

输入

TDEE 2,000 kcal — 5:2 cycle, −250 deficit

结果

Low days: 1,550 kcal; High days: 2,000 kcal; est. loss ~175g/week
