Shredding body fat

ChrisGood412

Hello,
So I've been cutting for the last 3 months or so and have dropped from 200 lbs to 165lbs. Though I've made alot of progress and gained a lot of definition, I'm still not as cut/trimmed as Id like to be. I feel as if I have hit a wall and can't get any more tone. I do 30-45 minutes of cardio every day as well. I was just curious if anyone has any tips for meals/diets that would work to help me shred more fat or anything that has personally worked for you!
Thanks you!

Eat less calories and lose less fat or increase calories into a deficit and gain muscle.

Are you strength training?

35 pounds in 3 months is great progress! If you want to increase your tone you should make your deficit a bit smaller though and do regular strength training if you don't already.

35 to 40 pound cut for a 160 pound male ? That seems like you over estimated your calorie surplus and added a lot of unnecessary fat during your bulk.

Well I wasn't bulking, I more or less just was busy with college and drinking that I didn't have as much time and got chubby. So I started cutting 3 months ago. My diet is pretty clean, I only eat chicken/white fish, grapefruit, broccoli, and a piece or two of whole grain bread a day. I also incorporate a epiq isolate shake with some flax seed oil/sesame oil/blueberries. I work out everyday and 4-5 days I go back another time just to do cardio. I just don't know what else I can do. I also stack l. carnitine, banish, and cla.

Yeah, I am, and I'm pretty knowledgable about that. It's just that I'm confused as to why I stopped getting more tone if I continue to eat as clean as I did to lose this much weight.

Replace the baggy shorts with something spandex, you'll look way more shredder right away.

There's "clean" and then there's restrictive. Why limit yourself to so few foods - you're not being healthy, probably nutrient deficient and creating intolerances to foods. It also sounds like you're severely restricting fat, which isn't good for your health!

Fwiw, you don't need to eat "clean" (whatever that means to you) to lose fat.

Just keep stying in a calorie deficit till you get to the leaness/look you want. Keep working out as well. It should come unless you have some medical condition or are not truly in a deficit.

Keep lifting, eat at maintenance or slightly below (250ish) and be patient.

This is a more current picture. Just don't know what else I'm able to eat to stay healthy.
