I don't seem to be losing weight anymore but I think I am still losing fat whilst building muscle. I'm at a bit of a cross roads. I was keto but now trying to follow more of a body building diet. I have increased my protein intake and I have loosened up on carbs but trying to phase them prior to a workout (and I am trying to increase workout volume - I know I am not doing enough).

Still, I figure if I can stay in a slight calorie deficit I should be ok. Just need to figure out what that value is :)
79.1 kg Lost so far: 8.9 kg.    Still to go: 1.1 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.

Question... If my profile says I have a target 1600 kcals a day should I be consuming less than that or upto that amount to lose weight? Sorry to bother... I just thought you know better since you loss so much weight 😅

if you entered losing weight was your goal then 1600 as a target should mean you can eat 1600 and still lose (you can try recalculating with it set to maintain weight to see the difference in calories that it suggests). That said, your body adapts to the new normal so you may find you have to go under to keep losing. other techniques like intermittent fasting can help (e.g. consume all your food within an eight hour window). Then again, I've also heard that having non diet days can help to keep your metabolism fast (keeps your body guessing as to what's happening). At the end if the day there is so much contradictory information that you just have to try some things and see what works...
