When setting up your reverse diet goal, you will have a slider you can use to set how quickly you’d like to add calories. All points of the slider will increase your calories on a weekly basis as long as you stay within that setting’s allowable weight gain limit.
When choosing your reverse diet level, you’ll need to decide how quickly you’d like to get your calories up and how comfortable you are with the possibility of gaining weight.
The more aggressive the reverse diet goal, the faster your calories will increase each week and the more likely you’ll be to gain extra body fat. So, if you want to minimize weight gain, you should choose a slower reverse diet option that adds fewer calories per week. This will also give your body plenty of time to adapt to more food.
On the other hand, if you’ve just finished a diet where you were on super low calories (or were binge eating), you’ll want to get out of that calorie deficit and eat more food as quickly as possible! In this scenario, a more aggressive reverse diet setting is your best bet.
Remember that you can also toggle adjust the slider throughout your reverse, giving your body more calories as it needs them, and less as you start to gain weight.
By selecting the "calorie boost" option during the goal change process, you can give yourself a 10% boost in calories. This will allow those just coming off a diet to quickly bump their calorie intake up closer to maintenance levels.
