Hey dudes
Im an 18 year old currently 2 years into lifting but new to bodybuilding forums. I need help on forming a meal plan as I have realised I cant just continue to eat what I want in order to continue to make gainz. Over last 2 years I have just increased amounts I have eaten and lifts have gone up as follows
Bench - 40kg to 85kg
Squat -60kg to 120 kg
Deadlift - 70kg to 150 kg
My bodyweight stats over past 2 years-
height - 5'7
Weight - increased from 49kg to 66kg
fat % - around 16 to 19% currently
Right now I am in the middle of a long plateau (2 months) and I think this has made me realise I need to start getting serious about nutrition and working out seriously rather than going to gym and just lifting heavy stuff
(I do have specific days but I go heavy on all exercises with good form. Split is backbis, chesttris, legs, shoulders. Go as often as possible).
Im also scared ill end up in the regular cycle that regular gym guys go through to just end up looking 1% better after a year.
I also feel like I should be hitting 100kg bench and a 140kg squat but strength gainz have been stupidly slow.
stats of my Maintenance cals required based on a calculator-
2180 kcals
My question is will starting a diet plan that I can follow increase my strength gains rapidly or is my gains rate optimal(I wanna get shredded as fast as possible like 5 years max lol). Also based on these numbers can someone help on forming a diet for FAT LOSS as I wanna get down to 8% before continuing to build muscle. Complete noob in this area as all I know is the 33% plate ratio that athlean says lol so any advice is welcome

You are gonna have to realize that results don't come quickly in bodybuilding
It's a slow process and getting shredded as fast as possible isn't the best way to go as you'd be on a likely path to losing too much muscle
Read the sticky below, has alot of answers/good info for you

I've read all of that and already pretty much implementing 70% of what's being said i.e. 1g of protein, alot of carbs and alot of fats. Despite all of this a 45kg bench increase over 2 years is kinda slow don't you think? A few of my mates start a year ago then suddenly rep 100 although they do have bigger muscle bellies due to being taller.

yes you can, assuming you're not eating fries all day with little to no protein. theoretically you should still make gains even if your diet consists of cheeseburgers and pizza
fat loss? be in a caloric deficit, eating foods that make you feel full are good to combat hunger. while 8% bf might be a nice goal, i wouldn't really cut down that much as a natty(?), especially at the age of 18. no idea what the plate ratio is but make sure to get enough protein and fat, good luckmunchies on a cut is the true test of discipline crew

Not quite.
"Protein minimum: 0.7 gram per pound of bodyweight (or target/ideal weight in the obese).
(for optimal body building purposes and during energy deficit higher intakes may provide additional benefits.)
Fat minimum: 0.4 gram per pound of bodyweight (or target/ideal weight in the obese)."
