Hey everyone so I have a couple questions after reading a lot of recomp and cutting logs I'm wondering if my metabolism sucks as bad as I think it does? I'm 38yrs old, 5'9.5"and 242lbs. I have a desk job and lift 5 times a week mostly big lifts, squsts, deads, incline bench, clean and jerk, pull ups, rows, etc. I alternate from heavy lifting, low rep and high set to medium weight, classic bb reps/sets each week. I typically do 15-20min of inclined fast walk/jog following lifting. 2 months ago I dropped from 2200 cals (maintenance) to 1800, scale didn't budge at all after a month, Energy levels weren't great so day 30 I bumped up to 2000 cals and added 2gms/day sns tta, I'm at day 60 now (see pic) and the scale hasn't budged. 3pt calipers have me 23% bf. I'm hardcore keto cause anytime I add carbs I pack on lbs faster than stay puff injecting liquid Krispy kremes. With keto I'm at least able to maintain. When I read logs/posts I see guys my age who are 80lbs less but are 500+ more cals while cutting.
Is my metabolism shot?
Do I need to do more?
Does bf% look accurate?
