Are you still trying to drop weight (body fat) at this point? If so, I'd try lowering those carbs to maybe half of what you have on latest post, drop the calories to about 2200, and keep protein around 225g per day. Eat more lean meats like grilled chicken breast, grilled lean turkey burgers, grilled salmon...if what you are doing is already working for you, then of course keep doing what works! I'm just throwing out some recommendations on what has worked for myself. I have a shitty metabolism though so I usually have to dive low into the calorie deficit to get body fat down. Anyways, keep at it brother!!

And I have a suggestion...maybe drop the granola bar and do an apple or a good handful of mixed berries (black ,blue,straw,rasp) or some grapes. Berries are really good for you and actually in studies berries make people feel better... just read that 5 min ago so I am regurgitation of info mode! Lol....or as JD said...keep doing your Thang man!

Thats the plan. I was stuck at 210 even on low carb and 2200 cals a day. I took the last 3 weeks and went up 500 per day first week. Im up a little more the last 2 weeks hotting around 3100-3200 a day. I was hoping to give my metabolism a kick. In the last 3 weeks even with the carb and cal increase ive only gained about a pound or 2. Next week i will focus the diet on cutting again. Carbs only pre and post workout. Alot more cardio. Probably drop to 2400 cals to start and see where that goes. I honestly feel like i still dropped fat and put on some good muscle in the last 3 weeks. Seeing a bit more definition and more vascularity.
I really appreciate you guys. If i end up stuck again ill be asking for help lol. Im still trying to figure out how my body responds to different eating plans.
Happy friday guys!

See thats why going by the scale can be deceiving. U could have very well put on muscle.
Look if u think about it...everyone wants to put on muscle and lose fat...so if we can do that perfectly then the scale would never move!
At the end of the day it comes down to how you look when YOU look in the mirror. You think you look better than yesterday? Well then you are on the ball.
And if course more importantly...how do you feel? That's all.
Use the scale as a tool and don't get hung up on it. I know from reading your log you aren't hung up ....I'm speaking generally right now.

Well I feel like my metabolism has ramped up a good bit so this week the cutting starts again. Just got done killin some meal prep. It should go something like this
Meal 1. 1/2c egg beaters, 1 egg, 1/2 turkey sausage, a bit of spinach onion and red peppers, 14g 2% light cheese
Meal 2. Same as above
Meal 3. Big salad with 5.5oz grilled chicken
Meal 4. 1/2c jasmine rice, 1/2c kidney beans, 5.5oz 93% lean ground turkey, 1/2c salsa
Preworkout. protein shake
Post workout. protein shake, granola bar
Meal 5. Will be something like rice and beans with lean turkey or chicken, lean ground beef sweet potatoes....Idk, i dont really plan this meal but keep it healthy as possible
Meal 6. will be a protein of some sort, cottage cheese, protein shake, lean meats...this will just depend on where my macros fall for the day.
The only deviation from this "plan" will be on leg days where I will def be upping the carbs throughout the day.

Goodnight all.
