Im 19, M and 5’5. On May 5, 2026 I was 113.5 lb so I started lean bulking for the first time and was eating around \~2400 cals a day. When i weighed myself again under same conditions after a week, I became 118.8 lbs which was too quick so I did 2,200 cals a day instead for another week. Today, I just weighed myself again and now I lost 0.4 lbs

Now im not sure whether that 118 lbs was just water weight and if I should go back to 2400 cals or maybe do a sweet spot and try 2300 cals instead. I don’t wanna waste my time not making good progress.
