just out of curiosity are you currently “overweight” in your mind? and youre dropping weight to be a little faster?
it sounds like you’re already doing all the right things. losing fat is, at its base, really basic. eat less than you burn. your body flips over and will break down your fat stores. unfortunately its difficult to increase your power by a lot when you’re calorie defecient as you already said… easier to bonk.
just eat whole foods, stay away from the junk, dont snack, dont eat late at night, and try and eat less than what youre doing now. its not black magic really.
