Ok, So I have 10 weeks to diet down 20 pounds. It doesn't have to be exactly 20 pounds, just close.
I thought I had my diet in check, but I see no difference on the scale or with waist measurents. I also don't see any difference in muscle size, it's all stagnant.
I guess my main question is how many calories do I need to be eating to lose say 1.5-2 pounds a week. Do I figure my bmr/rmr and then subtract calories from this. Say for demonstration purposes I need to eat 2000c a day for bmr, and I subtract 200 calories which would put me at 1800. So I eat 1800 for some wight loss, but I also do fasted cardio and burn 600c in the morning, and weights for 45 minutes in the evening, so about 360c there. So I am thinking I am not eating near enought calories compared to my caloric deficit and expenditure. I just cannot wrap my head around this.
I'm sure it's a really simple answer and I'll smack myself for not realizing it.
Height 5'9"
Weight 203-205
Age 29
Pics are me 2 months ago at 202, and 206. Got a little out of shape from these, and I actual look more in shape in the pics than I really am.
Bodyfat? Around 15-18
