I'm at a plateau. I know I'm eating less than my TDEE (~2000 resting) and burning extra calories through weight lifting. I'm not eating back the calories exceeding over 1200-1400 calories a day (the higher end when I'm actually very hungry).

AND YET. I am stuck. For about 6 weeks, I'm stuck between 218 and 216, fluctuating and the scale isn't dropping.

So here I am, scouring the internet reading everything I can about muscle building and fat loss and you know how many damn articles are out there contradicting the each other.

I came across this website and I think it's pretty much summed up everything (some of which I knew) in the most concise and easy to understand way, especially when it comes to describing Fat loss and Muscle gain. I will continue to refer to this website when I am questioning my habits/routine.

Am I allowed to share websites?

Well, here it is: https://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/how-many-calories-should-i-eat-every-day-a-look-at-total-daily-energy-expenditure-tdee/

Easy access to the guide on Fat Loss/Muscle Gain: https://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/lose-weight-and-build-muscle-or-do-one-then-the-other/

Anyway, I'm convinced that I just need more time. I'm making progress, I have to be, it's simple math.

  1. I'm going to make sure I measure myself
  2. Drink more water
  3. Eat. whole. foods.
  4. Don't stop going to the gym

That's all folks. Hope the links help you all out, too.
