Ok I would actually buy that your bodyfat is 20-22%-ish based on your photos. You just need a well defined goal. You could lean down a little bit if that's what you're after, and you may even be...

Ok, yeah so I'd be highly suspect of any further advice you get from this "trainer". If I was trying to get you to build some more muscle and didn't see any weight gain over the course of 2-3 weeks...

I'm just curious, why did you think that 1800 calories was a "bulk" diet? Those are at or very near cutting calories, even for someone your size and your level of activity. And 1200 calories is...

It can be done, I started at 43 and I'm almost 47 now and look nothing like I did back then. Height is kind of a disadvantage for looking muscular, but you can still change your physique...

There is a thread for this at the top of the forum.

From someone who is 6'5", if you're 6'4" and 152 lbs and still have love handles then cutting even further you can guarantee only 1 thing, that you'll probably never get rid of them by just cutting...

Yeah, the Navy body fat calculator, apple watches, smart scales, etc are all known to be very far from reality most of the time. It doesn't really matter though as long as your average weight loss...

I'll tell you this, people are rarely correct with their calorie counting unless you're weighing every single thing that goes into your mouth down to the gram using a digital food scale. Even then...

Please listen to this. If in 2 weeks you're losing more than 2-3 lbs a week you definitely need to increase your calories, because anything more than that isn't going to be sustainable long term.

So you've lost what about 16 lbs in 8 weeks or so? That calculates out to roughly about a 1000 calorie a day deficit, thats a pretty decent rate. But if your TDEE really was 3300 that means you're...

You wouldn't be that hungry on just a 250 calorie deficit. Most people tend to not even notice a deficit that small.

At 3000 calories a 250 calorie deficit is well within the margin of error for...

Recomp is only effective in a small caloric deficit. Tommy is right and pics would help, because its not easy for us to judge on just a height and weight measurement alone how effective it might be...

Pics are needed OP.

If you don't add any resistance training into your regimen then its entirely possible to lose a lot of weight and still look very "soft" due to having a high bodyfat percentage at a low weight (aka...

Keep in mind TDEE calculators can be pretty far off, best to just start with a moderate calorie deficit like 2200 a day...

This... And are you male or female?

Unless you weigh under 100 lbs you're not sustaining your current bodyweight on 1200 calories a day and would be dropping weight like a rock.

Whoa whoa whoa. 1lb/week??? That's for cutting. For bulking 1-2lbs A MONTH is plenty.

At best you've probably put on 1-2 lbs of muscle so far, the rest is all fat/water.

EAT LESS and/or MOVE MORE.

Thats it, thats all there is to it.

This is the wrong approach, and we see it all the time on this forum, even I was guilty of this long ago, and paid the price dearly for it spending years building back up what I could have just saved...
