16kg 3’ Snatch Challenge

Here is my submission, I’ll call it 79 reps as I believe the time ended about a half second before I finished the 80th. Had fun! Feel free to roast my snatch technique as I’ve never trained them super consistently.

Energy expenditure has significantly dropped, puzzled

Several year, consistent user here with a recent significant drop in calorie expenditure. No real changes in activity level.

Basically, what’s making me question this is that as seen in the first screenshot, I lost 4.9lbs in just under 10 weeks. My average caloric intake during this time was about 2800, or slightly over that. During this time, my expenditure estimate has dropped all the way down to 2900, whereas for years of consistent calorie and weight tracking it had always been roughly between 3050-3150.

By my basic math, the fact that I successfully lost about 5lbs in 10 weeks (this is going off of trend weight) suggests that I was eating right around a 250 calorie deficit. 250 calories over my calorie average of 2800 would be 3050, in line with my usual expenditure. This all leaves me scratching my head as to how my expenditure estimate fell so low.

Anyone else experience this recently, or have any ideas on what might explain this?

I’ve included screenshots both in the 3 month view as that seems more relevant to this particular question, but also in the 1 month view to be compliant with sub rules.

Finally comfortable enough with the 32’s to start building some volume!

First time being able to do better than singles with the 32’s, been a long time coming.
