    been on a cutting diet for over a month, should i change my macros???

    hey guys what up, ive several thhreads on here, but i wanted to get some feedback on this. So i have been on a cutting diet now for over a month, taking in on average 2700 cals. I am at 210-211 in weight, i want to get down to 190-195 or so all lean(200lbs possible as well)

    I have been loosing weight, i defintely have gained strength and notice more definition in my arms torso, overall you could say. The thing is i am not really loosing the weight fast and i dont expect to loose 4lbs a week, but at least 1-2 given the way i eat and train. Someone told me once that if you noticed your weight loss leveling off to maybe change my macros around and take in less cals?

    I work out 5X week, cardio after each for about 45 mins burning anywhere from 800-1100 cals. My BMR is 2080 and my TDEE 3224 so since i am cutting i removed 500cals from that taking me down to 2724 cals/day and i am on a 50%protein/ 30%carbs/ 20% fat.

    can you guys maybe tell me what i should change around, maybe has my body gotten used to this intake so now i dont loose as much weight? See a typical diet plan for me in a given day. Please let me know if i should make a
