Hi everyone,
Let me start by describing myself and then the rest. I am 23 years old male, 181cm/5'11ft tall with the last measured weight(today) of 98kg/218lbs.
My lifestyle is not very active, I mostly sit at home(CS major) and go to the gym 3/4 times a day for 1-2 hour sessions and I do full out. Intake, since I began losing weight, was 1780 calories and have since yesterday reduced it to 1650 calories per day. And yes, I count EVERY single piece of food I can and 95% of the food I eat is something I make at home.
Here are my recorded weight measures since I started actively losing weight:
5th of November 2022 - 104kg/229lbs
29th of November 2022 - 100kg/220lbs
6th of December 2022 - 99kg/218lbs
16th of December 2022 - 98kg/216lbs
24th of December 2022 - 98kg/216lbs
My goal is to lose 1kg/2.2lbs per week until I get to 15-17% body fat. The problem is that it seems I have nearly stopped losing ANY weight. I know this could be due to water retention or something like that, but it has been 2 weeks now and nearly no movement. I have had 2 "cheat" meals one being 2 weeks ago and another one yesterday, rather than done I am absolutely certain of my calorie intake.
I have the following questions:
Should I reduce my intake further until I start losing at my desired rate?
If not, should I do something like increasing my intake and then reducing it back to "trick" my body?
Should I increase my intake on training days?
