Strength training plateau, help!

AllyLuna

Any strength/body building trainers out there?

I haven't lost any weight since my last weigh in a week ago. Ok so just over a week ago I upped my strength training to higher weights/fewer reps. I'm at 152lbs trying to shed fat/tone up so I do plenty of cardio everyday and most strength every other day. My final goal is to get to 125-130lbs and get ripped, not to compete but for myself.

Anyway, I'm on a clean eating diet and try to make myself have small portions about every 3hrs. I probably get fewer complex carbs than MFP wants me to because i rarely eat bread products. I've been on this diet for about 1.5months now.

Is my problem that I haven't given it enough time?
Do I need to shock my system with a diet change? Like a fasting method for a day or a cal intake change?
Any other suggestions?

Oh, I almost never meet my cal intake MFP requires of me. The reason being that I eat til I'm full already since i have frequent small meals and drink 4liters of water a day, I feel fine and not undernourished. Thanks for your time

Increased meal frequency does not confer a metabolic advantage, eating clean isn't going to do anything magical for body comp either, holding cals and macros constant

Also if you are lifting heavy every day and cardio on the other days, you might want to be eating a bit, seems you rarely crack 1,000 cals

Stop concentrating on a number on the scale, how do your clothes fit? Have you taken pictures, measurements?

Also, you're eating way below your BMR, what do you think will happen when you return to normal eating?
