Lost...

[RTW2]

Ok im lost... I have had great progress in the past and never really had any problems. Even was down to 12% bodyfat at one point. Got a little crazy and had a little too much fun and put on about 5% body fat.

Now im sitting around 16% trying to get to 10 and im not going anywhere. My diet and workout are both perfect but im not seeing any results.... someone point out what im missing... please!!!

Workout
P90X program - Great cardio with lifts to hold on to muscle

Diet
1700 cals - High protein...50p/30c/20f
Chicken, Egg Whites, Tuna, veggies, Whole Wheat bread, Whey

I do eat out on Sat and Sun but only 1 meal and nothing too bad. Never break more than 2500 cals

Reps 4 help

the problem with the "perfect" diet is that "perfect" would keep you where you are.

increase protein, decrease fats.

decrease calories by an extra 100. run for an extra 10mins on the treadmill, or try something else like a stationary bike.

stick to it man you can do it!

Yeah i added some extra cardio in last week but still no good change. :-/

drop the calories to 1600/ monitor from there,

do away with the cheat meal until you see progress. how are you judging your progress?? scale or mirror. forget the scale. you could be gaining muscle or retaining water. good luck

Sounds like you just need to mix it up a little. Do some heavy lifting for a few weeks. You will burn more post-workout/recovery calories and any extra muscle you get will bump up your BMR. Also drop your calorie intake by 200, at least until you get over your plateau.
