Achieving sub 10% body fat

How are you tracking your 2200 calories? Do you use a food scale or just eyeball it? There could be various factors at play, but often it's just about balancing calories in and out.

Anabolics aren’t the key to weight loss, my friend. It also takes a lot of time and patience to reach that level of leanness, and your starting point plays a big role in how long it takes. What's your current body fat percentage? How long have you been on a diet? What does your macro breakdown look like?

Getting to single-digit body fat is really challenging, especially if you started off with a higher percentage. It's easier to drop from 25% to around 17-18% because there's more fat to lose. Once you're in single digits, there's less fat, and it becomes much harder to burn. The gear isn't the main factor; it's all about calories in versus calories out. Track everything you eat and drink, and measure everything too. That's what helped me get lean—keeping a close eye on everything that went into my body, combined with resistance training and zone 2 cardio.

Yeah, I’ve heard that too, so I keep my stack low, almost like a cruise dose while cutting. Right now, I'm at 11% body fat. I've been dieting for about 5-6 months and have lost 20 pounds so far. My macros are 280g of carbs, 30g of fats, and 205g of protein.

Yeah, I started off pretty high too, though I’m not exactly sure what my starting point was. I’ll definitely need to give zone 2 cardio a shot; I've heard great things about it.

I weigh everything with a food scale. For the last few weeks, I’ve been having grilled chicken three times a day as my main meals.

You're really close to hitting that 10% mark, and you still have some flexibility in your macros to reach it. Try reducing your carbs by 50 grams a day while staying consistent with your training and cardio. Doing 45 minutes of cardio daily is already impressive. I'm confident that cutting 50 grams of carbs will help the scale start moving again.

Are your stats accurate? You’re only 19?
