    Seems to me that your fat intake it to high? Should be around 20%. Percentages being 40% protein, 40% carb, 20% fat. For fatloss you need to be in a calorie deficit and taper off on carbs as the day progesses. To maintain body weight your caloric intake should be 3600kcals, so for fatloss you should probably reduce this by 400kcals leaving it at 3200kcals. You will also benefit from cardio to burn excess cals.

    Ofcourse

    Not really, it depens on your calories, not your carbs, and by the way, im going low carb all the way.

    There are no % set in stone, never heard of low carb diets before..?

    3600kcals, so for fatloss you should probably reduce this by 400kcals leaving it at 3200kcals. You will also benefit from cardio to burn excess cals.

    I'm staying around 3350-3400 for 2 weeks, to see what happens, don't wanna loose to much to fast, and more muscle leads to more kcal burning, so therefor im careful.

    Yeah, i'm doing 4 sessions a week, to begin with, to see where things are going, and ramping it up to more if I need it. 1 hour each session.
