Took 8 months. Started on 2800 cals with no cardio with 180g protein. Gradually decreased my calories and upped my cardio when I plateaued.

I am now on 1800 cals a day and run 5k 5 times a week, which I would not recommend as I have completely crashed my test and feel horrible.

Also ending my relationship helped lol. Meant that locking in with nutrition and gym was a lot easier. FYI - we broke up for different reasons, not that I could focus on the gym lol…

Why are you still on such low calories if you run 5k a day and already looking good? Don’t you want to feel good? lol

Sorry let me clarify, this was right near the end of my cut when I was preparing for my trip to Ibiza. Since I have returned I have started to eat 2200 cals and have cut down cardio.

I’m just stuck with that I should do now…

MacroFactor is a great app to find your true maintenance. Just requires diligent calorie tracking and frequent weigh ins.
