I’ve been working out for about 4 months now (HIIT on a spin bike and a bit of weightlifting ~20 mins.) three times a week. I’m seeing good improvement in health and physique despite having no idea what I’m doing.
My motivator was calories, but now when I work out I burn way less calories because my body is getting used to the stress, I think. What’s happening? Is my workout less useful than before? Can I not eat as much or is my body burning more fuel now?

Calories are not a good measure of anything. Why? Because whatever calorie level you are at, your body will adjust to it. The body in general adapts to what you do often. Just aim for better health in general (quality of food, variety of exercises, etc). Switch it up every week and month. Have cheat days and etc just to stop your body from adapting too much. It’s all about getting your body’s regulator on it’s toes. Some people just go extra hard all the time, others just play around with it and « distract it ».
