Hitting a stall
I have hit a stall for the last month. I am female, 5'6" 192 lbs. I have tweaked things here and there, but haven't found the magic combination. I have been trying to keep my calories around 1500 a day. I have messed with the ratios of carbs/ fat/protein, my latest was the percentages around 33/33/33. I do cardio 5 days a week, for 60 minutes, trying to keep my heart rate above 145 bpm continually. I also weight lift MWF for about 30-45 minutes. I try to lift heavy to increase strength and muscle mass. Should I try lowering my carbs more, or should I lower my calories a bit? I am nervous about destroying my metabolism, but I really do have quite a bit of fat to lose still. I have read a lot about cutting, but I am not sure if that is more geared for someone with a lower BMI who is preparing for a competition. Anyone have some suggestions that I could try? thanks
