Quick background. 5'10 After a 2yr hiatus, started back to a regular workout regime. Started Sept 7th. I was 210, with a 38" waist. Currently I'm 201 and dropped to 201lbs, 36" waist.
Workout schedule is 4 days. Mon&Tue then Wed off. Thur&Fri then Sat Sun off.
I combine 'push' exercises one day then 'pull' the following. 4-5 mile bike warmup prior to workout, and treadmill for .75 mile post workout
My total food intake calculations come out to 1600-1700 calories per day, with 175g of it being protein, 130g carbs. Currently no supplements, other than fish oil and multi-vitamins.
I can list out meal specifics if needed, but otherwise it follows a 4 meal per day diet consisting of oatmeal, eggs, apples, chicken breasts, broccoli, black beans etc.
My question/concern is that although I've seen felt gains in certain areas, such as strength, and fat-weight loss, It seems my gut has stopped shrinking, and sertain muscle groups arent getting stronger (specifically for squats and dumbell curls)
Do I need to modify my diet or increase my food intake?
