Hey guys,
I have just finished a clean bulk 2 weeks ago, where I went from 7-8%bf at 171 pounds to 198 pounds at 13-15%bf. I tried the lean gains approach for 2 days but decided to not proceed with it because I don't cope well by eating large meals less frequently. The problem I usually have when cutting is that I do a keto diet and end up loosing too much muscle mass, in which this time I want to avoid. I have only successfully dieted once without loosing too much muscle mass, and that is on a high protein/ moderate carbs and low fat diet, however took 3 months (also from 198 pounds to 171 pounds).
Anyway, enough rambling on. My current issue is that I have been dieting for 2 weeks now and have maintained the same body weight. I have lowered my calories but still can't loose weight and don't want to implement the keto because too afraid to loose body fat. My current diet is as follows;
Weight Training Days (4x per week)
9.00am 1x Oats + 1 scoop Protein + 10ml Flaxseed Oil
1 x fruit
1x whole egg
12.00pm 95g Tuna
1 cup jasmine rice
2.00pm 1 protein scoop
1`x apple
3.00pm TRAIN
4.00pm 1.5 scoops protein
1 scoop glucose
7.00pm 200g Steak
1 cup coucous
10.00pm 200g Chicken
1 cup vegies/salad
1.00am 250g cottage cheese
1tbsp PB
7 almonds
Kickboxing Days (2x per week)
9.00am 1x Oats + 1 scoop Protein + 10ml Flaxseed Oil
1 x fruit
1x whole egg
12.00pm 200g Chicken
1 cup couscous
3.00pm 95g Tuna
1 cup vegies
1x apple
6.30pm 1x protein
7.30pm TRAIN
9.00pm 1.5 scoops protein
1 scoop glucose
10.00pm 200g Steak
1 cup vegies/salad
1.00am 250g cottage cheese
1tbsp PB
7 almonds
REST DAYS (1x per week) - Usually the same as above
NO CHEAT Meals/Days
Supplements: Fish oil and Multi
I don't know what is wrong with my diet, to me it seems pretty good but the weight just won't come off. Also, I have taken a month of caffeine/ stimulants, so don't know if that is the issue. I usually use an ECA stack but this time I haven't been able to source it, so need to depend solely on diet. Do you guys have any pointers? I think it is impossible to increase my exercising, so the only option would be to cut calories further. But do you think that I should reduce the quantities of my meat or cut carbs? Thanks your input would be much appreciated.
