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?

You burn 4.5-5 less calories per pound lost, so if you’ve lost 20 lbs, you’re burning 90-100 less calories per day. Those numbers are what you’ll find if you aceess any TDEE calculator on the web and get a TDEE estimate for someone at different weights, all other variables like height and age held constant. I actually tested this myself in a 80 lb weight loss 3 years ago and it was right in the nose at 4.5 cals per pound lost.
