I'm not losing anymore weight?

[bjngo]

I'm 14 and used to weigh 180 but have been got to and have been stuck at 158 for a week and a half. I've been eating and doing the same thing I used to but I'm stuck. Any reason why? My diet is 1500 calories max. My day starts off with a shake and I usually eat every 2-3 hrs a piece of tilapia or chicken breast with white rice and after gym take another shake. I'm 5'5

Lower your cals, maybe do a "refeed" even know I don't really believe in them (just an excuse to cheat IMO but give it a shot) hope this helps OP

Congrats on losing that much. this far.

There can be a few reasons why your weight has become stagnant.

1. Plateau's, you should be having a re-feed day every once in a while. For glycogen and leptin.
2. You've dropped your calories wayyyyy below maintenance, thus suffering Metabolic Damage.
3. You're calories are near maintenance and not at a deficit (which I doubt)
4. If your dietary fat intake is too low, you might be suffering Hormonal Damage, thus not being able to metabolize fat.

IMO, You're 14. I'd suggesting posting your Height, and daily Macronutrient intake on the cut that your on. We can access your diet much more if you did so.

I've tried that (not purposely) but it seemed to work because I was once stuck at 167 for a while. Thought it was crazy how I actually lost weight the next day. Lol. So do you think I should just eat like a cheat day?

Considering the fact that you're only 14 and 5'5 @ 158lb. And your goal is to try to lose weight, but you've have come to a stagnant point.

You have to consider that a cut/diet isn't that suitable for people that aren't obese and have relatively low amounts of muscle on their body, meaning your LBM is low.

You would just diet/cut yourself into skin and bones.

Your young, and eating at 1.5k calories MAX!? You should do a recomp. Calulate your TDEE in the stickies and eat just below or at your maintenance.

Don't forget to train and be active.

My fear is that you diet yourself into skin and bones at such a young age and thus suffering from metabolic damage/thyroid issues and worst still hormonal damage that can affect your growing years.
