Is 200 grams of protein enough for a cutting cycle?

[Camaron]

I'm 190 pounds (5'11 tall) right now and this is the amount of protein I'm getting. So far I'm in my 3rd week cycling trying to shred a bit (my bodyfat is very high) and have regained a lot of muscle mass. I have noticed I'm started to planteau though. For example, last week I was 192 pounds and this morning I weighted the same. It also looks like I didn't lose body fat because my waist is about the same as well. I'm not too sure how to keep lowering my calories because at this point I am only consuming less than 130grams of carbs. I do cardio 5 times a week (1 hour a day). Doing more than this will exhaust the fuck out of me.

Whats your whole day's meal plan? 7oz of protein a day is one meal tyically.

My guess is you're body is in starvation mode.

I consume the most protein during the breakfast (65 grams of protein). Besides breakfast I have 3 more major meals each one having 5-6 Oz of protein on average. In my last meal I don't consume carbs aside of the greens/salad. I also have 1 to 2 snacks a day (usually some nuts or coffee with free sugar creamer).

Your math is off, that's 530 grams not 200.

Coffee is not a meal.

I mean what is your exact meal plan...for example

Meal One
10oz liguid egg whites
2 slices of white toast
2 slices of turkey bacon
1/2 cup of oats

Meal 2
8oz of lean meat
4oz guac
6oz greens

Etc.
Etc.

There is no way in hell you should be running 600 mg of test or for that matter ANY anabolics with body fat that is "super high"

Do you consider 17% -18% bf super high?

At your height and weight IMO no.

YOU said super high.

5-6 Oz of COOKED meal. Thats roughly around 40 Oz of protein.

Sources of protein:
Ground turkey (93% lean), ground beef (96% lean), eggs (mostly egg whites), whey protein.

Carbs: brown rice, oats... also bagels (half of a cinammon bagel a day which is only 120 calories). I'm not counting the carbs contained in the greens/veggies.

Fats: avocado, peanut butter.

So ton answer your question 200 grams of protein daily should be fine and stay off the scale! Take weekly pictures and only get on the scale after a while if you’re not leaning, honestly as much as all that cardio sucks it’s necessary to get super lean but unless you’re closing in on super lean you cut your carbs too much and increased your cardio too much my thought process is to look at it like your taking 1.5-2 lbs body fat per week and only restrict when you have to because of progress, there also needs to be a refeed in there and the last 6 weeks is when you really start restricting carbs and doing the carb cycling

[Camaron]

So the general consensus is that I have to add more food? Maybe more carbs? Maybe 300 calories more?

Read my previous ppst #14

.....and you need to shelf the anabolics for now.

Just wanna say one thing. Actually u burn pretty little from moving/training.
If u wanna loose weigth, cardio is not that efficient.
Think of it this way. We were hunters/runners. Had to run for a day to get a meal.
If the body burned a lot during exercise, we would be gone long time ago.

Hormones, fasting and when u eat, not what, is more important.

The most efficient is training in a fasted state. 20 hours wo food or more, especially when u get a GHboost from it. Growth hormone will protect muscles and burn fat.
Always train in a fasted state, bro. New life, new look.
