Trying to get cut

Seems like someone has not read the fittit FAQ...

Okay, first thing : Endomorphic is only about your frame, ie your skeleton (long shoulder bones, large hip bones, etc). It has very much to do with how much weight you loose. You eat less, you loose fat, simple as that. People saying they have low/high metabolism are generaly just making up excuses.

Now, maybe you do have a large frame, in which case, good for you : once you put up some strength on that skeleton, you'll be able to fight bears in the mountains. Congrats.

Now, wanna get lean ? 80% of the work will come from your diet. Calculate your TDEE. Eat 500 cal less than it. Loose weight. Simple as that. There is no other option

Now, about your lift, a lot of people talk trash about crossfit. I won't judge, I don't really care. Yet if you really want to make a difference, I'd recommand picking a real program.

You (mostly) don't loose weight doing cardio. You train endurance and breathing doing cardio. You loose weight by eating less. Eat less.

If you still want to do cardio, pick a lifting program, do it, then once you've done it, go do your cardio.

Read, read, read and read the different fitness subbreddits FAQ. There is a LOT of usefull infos down there.

And again, you'll loose weight by eating less. Not by training (mostly).

Sounds like you just need to be strict on the numbers in the kitchen; excess BF --> eat at a caloric deficit, reducing carbs before you lower fat/protein.

Once your BF is much lower you'll have to eat in excess to keep building muscle but that'll be down the road.

Push carbs until after your workout. No carbs until 5-6PM.
