Calisthenics Unity

Okay I wasn't going to make this thread, but I really want to be sure of what to do. I know the basics of fat loss: calorie deficit, adequate protein, and cardio here and there. I've been having a hard time to lose the last 5kg or so. I will tell what my usual meals are in the following, but I mainly have a problem with eating less, I don't know why I just can't eat less. I started doing cardio every day or whenever I feel good to do it (sometimes every 2nd day or so). I actually tracked how many calories (&Macros) I eat just so I kinda know, and it is below DIM (2912) for the last week or two, but there's no change. I know a week/two isn't that enough of time, but I hear people say in 2 weeks you should be able to go down at least 0.5kg or 1kg, and I've actually been stuck on 80-82kg for a pretty long time.

Most frequent meals:

Breakfast: 3 eggs with some flax seeds, 300ml milk, grated cheese on top of the eggs (40g)

Might have a snack: Mandarin or Apple [Fruit]

School time, I usually don't eat actually, sometimes I might get another fruit.

When I come home I workout [half level (because I don't have that much time since I come home at like 7:30PM) + cardio (jump rope - 20 minutes)], and then I have my lunch-technically like a post-workout meal, which varies but my usual foods are:
-Chicken meat (drumsticks, breast, etc. etc.)
-Macaroni
-Tuna
-Ground turkey meat
-Cabbage salad
-Beans

I'm not gonna bother typing macros & calories for the foods, but for the past 1 or 2 weeks I've been eating [average values:
Calories: 1789.8 Calories
Carbs: 107.167g (1.3g carbs per kg of bodyweight) [24% of total calories]
Fat: 77.167g (0.9g fat per kg of bodyweight) [38.8% of total calories]
Protein: 151.83g (1.8g protein per kg of bodyweight) [37.2% of total calories]

That's some strange ass macros % I know lmao. Anyway as you can see I'm eating even less than the BMI (1878.25) as the average value of calories is 1789.8 calories, hence I workout as well, so it's the TDEE or whatever it's called and not the BMI as calories.

My question is "How can I not be losing fat if I actually ate in a calorie deficit?". I mean I did say I gained muscle while losing fat, but I really want to speed up this fat loss and my muscles to show more, because I can feel kinda big and rock hard muscles underneath my last layers of fat.

Today I had my first cheat meal where I ate tons of carbs lol, but from tomorrow I will eat clean again. So I wanted to ask if you have any tips to give me, whether it being Chris or someone who has lost the last few kgs, and what I should change starting from tomorrow or whenever someone answers.

My body stats if you're wondering:
80-82kg (varies, sometimes even shows 84, but I know it's like 80-82)
16.5% body fat or something close (like the whole number is 16, the decimal I don't know, might be 16.4%, might be 16.7%)
177-179cm (2 different places, one said 177cm other said 179cm, DUNNO WHICH TO TRUST ...)
I'm 15, 16 next month if that makes a difference.

Cmon guys I really need some professional help here HELP ME. Just kidding, but seriously if you have any tips feel free to share them with me, it will help me a lot. I know this is a long thread lol sorry.

Forgot to state, for dinner I just have green tea, and yes that's correct, I eat 2-3 meals only, like big meals, and then a snack or two. And yes I do get enough protein, I mean I heard different takes on how much protein is enough. Some people say 1g per lb of bodyweight, other says minimum 1g per kg of bodyweight, so I decided to take in around 1.8g of protein per kg of bodyweight (which is close to 1g per lb of bodyweight)

And I also do intermittent fasting most days, which has served it's purpose definitely for losing fat.

So how do I re-calculate my calories and know my maintain level? Because from what I can see 2912 [DIM] - some calories doesn't seem to be doing the trick.

Gligor, I read some articles, and even Medrano said in his workout, that big calorie deficit will get unwanted results. Let me explain the issue. If you make too big deficit on your calories intake, then your body will make your metabolism slower, which means that you'll be more likely to store some extra kgs. It's like your body want to make some reserves for later use just in case you won't have acces to food. Secondly, woah, you don't eat anything from, like 7:30 am to 7:30 pm? It's 10 hours dude ( if I understood what you wanted to say in the post ). Your body works like an engine, you have to give it fuel fo every 2-3h in order to let it work properly :) .

12hours *

No no it's not 12 hours haha. It's only 6 hours (1:30PM to 7PM), and it's only sometimes 6 hours, I sometimes have fruit as well at school..

My school timing is messed up. 2 weeks I'm from 7:30 AM to 1 PM, 2 weeks I'm from 1:30 PM to 7 PM.
If you want timing for meals for these 2 weeks (school from 1:30 PM)..
Breakfast - Wake up (10-11 AM)
Snack - Before going to school (Approximately 1-1:30 PM)
Snack - School (Approximately 3 PM)
Lunch - After school & after workout (as I come from school at 7 PM, I workout half level + cardio for around 1 hour and 2 minutes, means lunch is approximately 8:30 PM, it's technically dinner lol)
Dinner - Kinda before going to bed but not really - Green Tea (Usually like 10PM)

6h is still a big gap bro, take a sandwich or two to school, I bet you starve for those 6 hours lol :D

Well if I'm not losing fat I must be eating too much.. But when I count calories it's less than the DIM (Daily Intake Maintenance I think right?), so that's actually the reason I made this thread.

So there's a few scenarios:
-The DIM is not correct (I doubt that Chris would do that)
-I didn't count calories properly - Which I'm absolutely sure I did and I didn't forget "hidden calories" if there was any.
...lol

The truth about obout fat storage is other. I can recomend you to start here, and first think a moment: Do you think that if it would be as simple as stay i calorie deficit, the occidental world suffer the obesity epidemy that suffers? Lets take a read to the Obesity Code book author's blog, I call it 'evidence'.

Do you think that if it would be as simple as stay i calorie deficit, the occidental world would suffer the obesity epidemy that suffers?

Error correction. Sorry for my English. SALUTES!

Well, my solution for fat loss has been the same and will remain the same for all my life(this isn't just for me, it's for any type of soma type): Nutrition and Cardio. Eat around every three hours, drink around 3 liters of water a day, sleep at least 7-8 hours at night, and nothing more and nothing less than sweet old cardio. Cardio is key to losing fat, combine that with diet(nutrition) and it becomes an atomic bomb that destroys only one thing in its path...............FAT!!! Now I know I didn't go into much detail on what exactly to eat and how much, but I'm still working on that, so be patient. Also, adding fat-burning foods to your diet(like green tea) is fantastic.

I think you should take a break from being in a caloric deficit for a week or two and eat at maintenance. Let your body know you're not in "survival mode" if that makes sense. Then go back to a deficit.

Txus666, definitely interesting. However I do believe that it is as simple as calories in and out, but it is interesting that the calories can vary, if I understood it correctly. Well I think some people (it included me) get overweight or even obese, because life gets too hard they get depressed and they stop training & just eat a lot...

Daniel, so I guess just keep doing what I was doing, or maybe bump it up a little more, I mean after all 1-2 weeks is not a long time. What do you think about 15-30 minutes jump rope [moderate to fast-ish] as 1 cardio session?

theonenotesong, well I believe that I already have done that. But I will give it a shot if I don't start going down on weight for the next.. I don't know.. few weeks.

And Daniel, don't worry you don't have to go that deep about telling me a schedule haha. So I guess I'll try to add in an extra snack just so I eat every 3 hours or something.
