I have been on 2050 calories and hitting my macros pretty well for around two weeks if not a bit more. While introducing cardio varying from 150-300 calories a time 4-5 times a week. I have litttle to no change in my fat/weight loss while I can not see any change either. I have been going gym for around 10 months so could this be due to virgin gains or or? I think if anything my calories are already pretty low and I know cutting wouldn't be recommended for me as of now but I'm going ibizia and want to lose some fat. Side note - some days I'm hitting only 1600 calories and feeling pretty full, could this affect my metabolism and therefore restrict weight loss? If anyone can help me with ANY suggestions please let me know.

    I forgot to say. I'm about 5' 9 and weight around 175 pounds.

    Your metabolism is fine after two weeks, which is too short a time to change anything. You just started some pretty intense exercising and it sounds like from nothing. You'll be retaining water from that. Give it a bit more time.

    In the meantime, if you're not already, start weighing all solid and semi-solids and measuring liquids. This will make sure your logging is accurate.

    Thanks for your reply, all help is appreciated greatly! I'll carry on as I am for another two weeks to wait for a change of any sort. Thank you!
