Different diets work for different people depending on genetics and lifestyle. Carbs aren't necessarily bad and some people can still get lean on a higher carb diet. Take me for example- leaning out while eating 200-300 carbs per day, while going a bit lower on the fat and moderate protein. (not LOW fat, but low-er fat, it's controlled) I have abs and cuts now! How was I able to eat all these carbs and still get lean? 1.)I lift weights very intensely (heavy weights) 4 days a week and go for long trail runs on Sundays 2.)My genetics- without carbs I my immune system and energy levels suffer, can't sleep, etc. 3.)And most importantly...I keep my OVERALL CALORIES within a certain range 6 days per week. But what works for me might not work for you! Some people really do best and feel best on a low-carb high-fat diet, or something in between! With weight loss, there's more than one way to get there, each as individual as you are! When you find the right balance for yourself you will: 1.)Lose weight 2.)Feel good and have energy for your workouts and life in general. 3.)Glow with health! Find something that you can maintain as a lifestyle, not just a quick fix. Good luck!

You ate below your maintenance calories. That's all you need to say. You are over-complicating something that is not a difficult concept to grasp. If you are looking to lose weight then you need to consume less calories than you burn. That's it.
