Research is important. But don't forget to DO whatever you choose. Just pick a plan and stick with it for 3 months. Track your progress. Evaluate and adjust. People will argue about SL5x5 vs. Starting Strenght vs. 5/3/1 vs. MadCow vs. Texas Method vs. whatever. They'll argue about keto vs. low carb vs. paleo vs. primal vs. whatever. Choose: A nutrition plan that you like and can stick with An exercise routine that you like and can stick with Stick with it for 60/90 days and then adjust as needed…

You sound like me about 12-18 months ago. I was skinny fat. I ran and got skinny. Six pack, but skinny. Then I tried HIIT classes, Crossfit-like classes, etc. The classes were "fun" but how could I make or track progress if each workout was so different? It wasn't until I grew a pair and started StrongLifts 5x5 that I made progress. I had Fuckarounditis. Then I finally started following the StrongLifts 5x5 program. I got the app. I paid a few bucks to unlock all of the features of the app. I hir…

If you are only getting 1,600 kcal/day you should see a lot of improvement. What is your breakdown of protein, carbs, and fat? And what types of carbs & fat are you getting? Have you tried using a barbell & lifting heavy instead of just bodyweight exercises? When I started lifting heavy my BF dropped from over 20% to under 14%.

What kind of blender do you have? You usually need something like a Blendtec or Vitamix to make it smooth. I think it tastes fine due to the ginger and lemon but I've never had a sweet tooth. My wife thinks it's terrible but she thinks every fitness/health thing I do is terrible and likes her fruity smoothies. I make it kind of watery and sip it throughout the day. I want to have 1-1.5 gallons of water a day and this helps me get there. I basically use this recipe which is a variant I heard abou…

How well do you know your body composition? What is lean and what is fat? BMR or RMR? A primal/keto-type diet is a great way to go but you need to know the total calories to target and how you want to break them up across carbs/protein/fat. Focus on the big picture and hit your weekly goal. Some days you might be a little above or below but don't sweat it. If you average out to where you want to be for the week and you string that together for more weeks, you'll be fine.

Ever gone the smoothie route? I make one every morning and it starts with a ton of kale and spinach. I add lots of other stuff but be careful not to make it too sugary. All of my ingredients are keto friendly. Kale, spinach, celery, tomato, avocado, carrot, ginger, lemon and a few cups of water. I usually add 1T of MCT oil and 1T of olive oil too. It ends up being 80-90 oz and I drink it gradually in the first half of the day. It's lots of fiber, low net carbs, and the carbs are all low glycemic…

My other staple is greek yogurt. Depending on the brand I go for 2% or full fat. 2 cups of that will get you 45+ grams of protein. Just beware of the sugar content. Fage 2% is OK. A lot of the no fat varieties have a ton of sugar. Between 2 cups of 2% greek yogurt and a big can of salmon you will get about 95g protein and about 900 calories of mostly protein and fat. When bulking I'll eat 4 cups of yogurt + the can of salmon.

If you are looking to lose fat, cut the carbs and increase the fat. Fat doesn't make you fat. High glycemic carbs (even if they are complex carbs) will. Consider doing something like a modified keto diet where you get 50-100g carbs and a lot of healthy fats. With your plan you've got 120g protein and 280g carbs.

I've had a variety of BF scales and they suck. See if you can find a local place that gets you an InBody test or DEXA scan for a reasonable price. You can usually get a DEXA scan done for $30-50. You will have way more info on your composition and what macros to target. If you are trying to build mass, a true keto diet will be hard. You need more carbs and protein than a true keto. Keto foods are great, but up the protein and carbs and decrease the fats.

I buy big cans of wild salmon (the size of soup cans, not normal tuna cans). Add mustard. Eat plain or dip some veggies. The can of salmon gets you ~48g protein and ~35g of good fats and about 630 of good calories. This really helps me out.

TL;DR - Caloric deficit to cut under 10% BF by the end of May. I've been adding muscle over the past 9 months following 5x5 and then 3x5. I'm just under 14% body fat and want to get under 10% in the next 7 weeks. So I'll be eating at my RMR. Macros will be 75g C, 165g P, 125g F for total calories of 2,085/day. I'll have a water-only fast from ~6pm to ~7am nightly. Carbs will be low glycemic and mostly in the morning. Foods will be mostly keto-friendly. No beer.

Great job and very well researched. Have you considered a ketogenic or modified keto diet? If you can drop the carbs down to 50-75g/day that could help more. There is a lot of research out there on keto, forms of intermittent fasting, etc. Also, complex carbs are great but glycemic index and blood sugar control matters a bunch.

Just asking the basics. He's made great progress which is awesome. With his fast it sounds like he is dialed in. But timing and IF/time restricted diet can help event more.

What are your height, weight, age, and RMR or BMR? What are your calorie goals and macros? And when/how much are you eating?
