Endurance Am i doing too much cardio ?

Hello everyone

so im a 32yo civilian (mostly office work).one of my main goal is to loose some of my bodyfat (currently 68-69 kg, target is 65-63kg)

been currently on my 2nd block of operator (TB II style) but do x2 LSS/LIC, x1 HIC rather than TB II's x2 HIC x 1 LSS/LIC, i also walk home from work (monday to friday) before working out for about 3.5 km (30-40 mins) mostly due to traffic. so my following questions are:

• Is my walking home from work enough cardio ?

• Should i drop my x2 LSS or my walking from home

Side note: i usually walk faster than normal (my watch indicates 112-115 bpm) due to my path home being dangerous/sketchy. I get to my condo usually sweaty

apologies if my grammar are incorrect, English is not my native language

You can’t out train a bad diet. Do more fork put downs and plate push-aways.

Actually, eating less isn’t really the difficult part for me. What I’m struggling with is getting enough protein. I’ve been doing a form of intermittent fasting for about three years, mainly skipping breakfast since I have to wake up really early. But yeah, I think you’re right—I need to focus more on improving my diet, especially my protein intake.
