Well, off the top of my head -
- What do your workouts consist of? What kind of cardio (duration/intensity/etc.), what kind of lifting (circuit training / high-intensity / high-volume / etc.), all that stuff.
- Your calories seem very low. You're a 190 lb. man - your body needs way more than 1800 cals just to get by. I'd shoot for somewhere around 2400-2600 calories a day, and maybe a little more clean fats. Your body is eventually going to start hanging on to fat if you don't give it enough fuel.

My weight workouts with a trainer are very intense. 10 minute warm-up (usually with eliptical machine) then 30 minutes of split routines which get changed every week and include core conditioning, then 20 minutes of low-level cardio which I change up from recumbant bike, eliptical machine, and treadmill running. My cardio is usually on my road bike on a training stand for 30 - 45 minutes. I do vary intensity on these rides...sometimes long steady and sometimes HIIT. Based on your recommendations I'm kicking up my clean fat a bit and my calories. I really do appreciate your response. I sometimes get in my head too much and can't figure out what is going on.
