So, I'm 6ft and currently 170lbs. I've been cutting for almost two months and lost a decent amount of fat, 17lbs overall. During the first weeks, I was dropping 2lbs/week and was doing great, but then it inevitably slowed down and got to 1lb/week......last couple weeks it's been dead zero!
So, I started dropping cals week after week and when I was seeing progress slowing down, I was dropping more....but I think I exaggerated, cause I just calculated the overall cals and it's around 1200/day, which worries me!
My current diet (Total 1280cal)
MEAL 1:
60gr pasta - 220cal
1.5 scoop Whey or chicken/turkey - 180cal
Oximega - 9cal
MEAL 2:
1 Wasa crispbread - 37cal
some blueberries - 30cal
1.5 scoop Whey or chicken/turkey - 180cal
Oximega - 9cal
MEAL 3:
1/2 banana - 45cal
1.5 scoop Whey 180cal
MEAL 4:
Chicken/Turkey/Salmon/etc - 180cal
Nuts - 50cal
MEAL 5:
Cottage cheese - 160cal
What am I doing wrong? I train 5 days a week and a 6th day of 50min cardio (not fasted). I train hard and actually haven't lost strength at all, which makes me happy. Energy levels are mega low though.
Could it be the sunday cheat day? I usually eat like a double burger, some pasta and sushi throughout the day, but it's not THAT much I assure.
Is my metabolism THAT low? Any help would be appreciated, thank you
