Hold on a second. 2800? That's too high if you're trying to cut, IMHO. I'm currently weighing in at 196, and this is the leanest that I have been. I was 208 about 10 weeks ago. I'm just slighter taller at 6'1". I have the same fat deposit area as you too. Abd and i also carry in the back of my inner thighs. Anyway just tell you all that because I started seeing incredible results when I started carb cycling. hi carb day 250+, med carb day 175ish, and then lo carb day <50g, repeat. On high carb day have minimal fats, on medium carb days I consume lo to moderat fats, and then lo carb days are high fat days( 125g+ healthy fats)Sometimes I would even take the day after my medium carb day and go lo carb/lo fat. I'm always hitting 150g of protein, if not more. Now I am only doing one high carb and one medium carb day per week. I don't count green veggies or nuts as carbs. Usually I'm around 1800cal.I feel great, washboard coming in for the first time, all kinds of new uncovered vasculature. It has worked for me, hope it does for you. I used sups for the first 6 weeks(alphamine and vanillean) now I'm just drinking coffee once preworkout which is my morning with protein and coconut oil. I'm rambling, sorry.
