Confused over diet
Hi all. Great forum!
I've had a lot of success in reducing my body weight by dieting and working hard in the gym. I train HIIT 3 times a week with a coach and do cardio 5 - 6 days a week in addition.
Lately my weight loss has slowed. I actually plateaued for about 3 weeks.
My confusion is that I've read a couple of comments here about "not eating enough you won't lose weight". I try to keep my calorie deficit around 5 - 7 hundred a day and do a cheat day back to maintenance at least once a week. My typical day I eat 6 - 7 small meals. My diet is very clean with almost all my carbs coming from sweet potatoes, whole grain bread, and beans. I eat chicken, turkey, and some lean beef. Vegetables are mostly broccoli and cauliflower ( i love them both!).
My measurements are:
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 180
Chest: 42"
Waist: 35" (measured at the navel)
Biceps: 15 1/4"
Thighs: 24"
Calfs: 15"
My main focus is getting my waist down another couple of inches. Still have some stubborn fat and small "love handles".
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
