Ok bought a fit link to determine what my TDEE is. I don't think it's very accurate. I am a driver and it's logging steps and moderate activity when I'm driving. The first part of my day I can understand I'm in bumper to bumper traffic and theres a lot of activity to go about 20 miles in an hour,mostly dodging idiots. But the last 2 hours of my day,early am hours I'm on cruise control. I'm sure singing and banging on the steering wheel burns some calories,but doing 40 min of cardio on the stationary bike and sitting in the tractor are registering pretty much the same energy expended.
My meals are generally the same everyday.Breakfast 1 cup oats 2 tbsp peanut butter and 2 bananas. Lunch 2 chicken thighs or 1 chicken breast(boneless skinless)or other protein if available. Cardio ,30-40 min bike,or combo of 30-40 min rowing,rope climber,and bike,and stretching. Protien shake after cardio and stretching. Another banana as a snack app hour later. App 2 hours later 2 chicken thighs or 1 breast. App 2 hours later big green salad 2 tbsp measured dressing,and 1 cup cottage cheese. App 2 hours after that protein bar last thing to eat. Then I lift after work app 2 hr's after the protein bar. Total macros according to myfitness pal are listed next.
According to the fit link from yesterday I burned approx 3,900 calories and consumed approx 2080 calories. The breakdown according to my fitness pal is 175g of carbs,80g of fat,193g of protein,80g of sugar. Most of the sugar and carbs comes from the oatmeal and 2 bananas from breakfast and the protein bar I have for a snack.
My main concern is that my weight loss is going ever so slow. I know I'm talking about scale weight. I've lost some BF for sure almost 4 inches off the waistline since the beginning of the year. However weight has only gone down 12 lbs and plateaus are at least 2-3 weeks long sometimes longer. I've been at 190-192 for almost 5 weeks now. I don't think I am running a 1800 calorie deficit as the fit link would say but at least 500-800 calorie deficit. My diet is the same on the weekends with an occassional cheat item very rarely, no more than once a month. I usually get in at least 4-5 days of cardio and 5-6 days of lifting.
I ended a blast last month of 400 mg test c and 300 mg deca. I added an extra protein shake at the end of the day while doing the blast to keep the protein above 200 g daily. I am back on TRT dose of app 175 mg test c .5 mg of adex EOD and 250 iu HCG 2 days before injection and the day before injection.
Am I just being to critical about the scale? It's obvious to me and everyone else that I've lost weight. Smaller waist and veins on my forearms are very noticeable. Can I continue to shed BF on this diet? I plan on continuing this or a similar diet from now on. As summer approaches I do add some fruit besides bananas,cherries will be here soon,then apricots and plums. I sometimes substitute broccoli or asparagus for the salad.
Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
