I agree with what he has been saying up in here.

FYI 1 % drop in body fat a week is a great and NOT something to be bummed about. THAT IS NOT very easy to accomplish for many people but is something to be proud of.

How do you know you are losing muscle... what is you LBM 4 weeks ago compared to the 4% drop?

Thanks... I'm working my ass off. I have a good base, and good genetics for putting on mass, but I'm terrified of being "skinny fat." I will just keep the lean proteins coming in, and maybe chill on my 30-45 mins of cardio 6 days per week.

Welcome...

Based on what you just said, I suggest ditching the cardio 6 days a week & keep it to 3-4 days based on intensity NOT duration.

Stay away from processed foods if possible.

Lean meats, fibrous veggies, healthy carb/fat sources & and you'll be fine.

Right now I'm at 45% Carbs, 30% Protein, 25% Fat.
Eating good whole foods. Getting my fats from ANPB and Almonds, Carbs from oatsand whole wheat tortillas, Proteins from chicken and fish.

What are your thoughts about the above percentages? My carb intake is high because I'm training Mon-Sat. (Sunday off and cheating )

My personal preference, or MY base is 40P/30C/30C. I gauge my progress from that if I ever want to try something new... like 40/40/20, or low fat, carb rotations, etc. Your diet below doesn't look bad at all for someone trying to eat healthy & adapt a healthier lifestyle.

Nice to see you are treating youself once a week. I'd heed caution if it's a cheat "day" though...takes 2-3 days POST cheat day to feel somewhat normal again, then feel better for 3 more days until you binge again. repeat cycle. Whatever works for you though. I'd give it 3-4 weeks and see how you feel. i.e still feeling hungry adjust fats a little bit (30%) & see how that works.
