Weight loss quick question

My breakfast is 40g porridge with 50g blueberries with 175ml water microwaved then an apple and pear chopped on the top + Black coffee. Its about 250cals and keeps you full for an age.

Pot of plain cottage cheese (yes, I'm gross... I do actually like it plain)

Mate it's the texture that puts people off it I swear. To me if you shut your eyes and ignore the clumps :D it just tastes like plain yoghurt. I usually whack in a few blueberries though, 10-20 blueberries is barely any calories and makes it taste nicer!
 
Also I've noticed a lot of people say you shouldn't count calories and be too OCD but I realised I virtually eat the same meals all the time. I've got very detailed macro breakdowns for all my favourite meals (even including stuff like 10ml spoon of olive oil for salads) and it makes counting calories through the day so much easier. I know on a cut I need to be taking in 2,800 training days and 1,800 rest days and it's extremely easy to adhere to with this method.

I have a cheat meal once every 2 weeks am now partaking in a little bit of intermittent fasting, after every cheat meal I fast foe 18 hours just to give my metabolic rate a bit of a kick.

I was 21 stones, Im now 18 stones, Im currently off awaiting knee surgery for the second time in 5 months due to a hereditary weakness but that will be done soon. I love body weight exercises, but I really like swinging my kettlebells around.

You say you have strong legs from carrying your bulk...no you have big legs, they are not strong. try 100 squats in 20s with a 20 second break, then talk to me in 48 hours after when the DOMS hit home. you need to work your fat off, not just rely on a calorie deficit.


just in my honest opinion of course.

Icecold have you tried a little himalayan pink salt?

I mix it with my grass fed butter in my coffee, delicious. A new one I tried yesterday, HPS whipped into an egg yolk until it froths, then poured ontop of the coffee....simple and pure.
 
I eat loads of fat free longley farm cottage cheese, it's pressed much more than normal cottage cheese so is more solid.

Yes, you started off eating a LOT less you should have been. You should have worked out your BMR (3300 is too high to be correct, there is a good thread on here that will help) and then taken off a couple of hundred kcals to put you in a slight deficit. You can then reduce this again if you stall, but you end up with a lot more room to cut.

Be careful with adding in cardio to further increase your caloric deficit, you could just end up trashing your metabolic capacity even more.

In general, exercise does very little to aid fat loss. It really does mostly come down to diet.

Post up a typical days worth of food so that people can critique it.

This post nailed it, and I know, because I've done weight loss the stupid way and I'm still paying for it now.

How you fix it, that I don't know, because at 18.5 stone there's absolutely no way weight loss should have stalled on 1300-1500 cal per day. Can only guess either the calorie calculations are wrong, or your metabolism is already screwed up quite badly. Maybe try setting a sensible calorie target, stick to it for a month or so and aim for no loss or gain.
