[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’ve been wondering if it’s my cardio and too much fat.

Morning: two cups of coffee (maybe three) w whole milk. Interval sprints/walking for three miles or 30min on the peloton. 
 
12pm: salad w roasted veggies, homemade ceasar dressing, shredded cheese, maybe a hard boiled egg or tofu

6pm dinner: whatever the family is eating. Homemade fajitas(carbs, yes), grilled sausage and zucchini for example. Tonight we ordered sushi and I had sashimi, uni, and half a cali roll.

Literally that’s it. Of course is there are exceptions. 4th of July I had two slices of ice cream cake. I’m human. I guess I just have eaten like this for years and I have been 154 pounds and 5’7, a size 6. And now I woke up one day and I can’t naturally even our under 160 and sit around 164.

I see what I eat and I’m like, of course I can cut down the carbs to legitimately zero. And I will if I have to. It’s just such a reasonable way to eat IMO and it’s still not “enough”.

You need to increase your protein significantly. Increase weight training and lower the cardio amount. The goal for protein is .5/1g per lb of body weight while lifting weights. Also, try to have a small meal every 2-3 hours- again, protein and a veggie.

If IF works for you that is great, but one of the trainers that I follow pretty routinely who has a lot of training (BS, MS etc) has said that IF really doesn't work- it can help you lose weight because you MAY eat fewer calories, but you can really mess up your metabolism.  He also has a lot of healthy suggestions - for example, with peanut butter.. if you get REAL peanut butter there is NO sugar in it. It is the kind that you have to stir because it separates, however the ingredients are literally "peanuts, oil". That's it. Harley Pasternak is the name of that trainer on IG if you want some ideas. A local dietician I also follow is Steph Grasso (also on instagram) and she also posts lots of healthy, balanced eating ideas. [/quote]
