    But why? You're at a healthy weight, in the lower end of the BMI scale.

    What sort of weight are you looking to get to? You're at the lower end of a healthy weight. You're spending an extraordinary amount of time exercising per day...

    You can't spot reduce. Are you looking to expose a 6 pack by cutting fat? Because at your weight, you're not carrying a heck of a lot of muscle to expose...

    You have to have muscle there to expose, first. Frankly, at your weight, it's unlikely that you have that. You'd be far better off cutting 4-5 hours of cardio out of your plan and working on a good progressive lifting program.

    Look up some decent dumbell, barbell and bodyweight routines. You don't need a cable machine.

    And you don't think 3hours on the bike, daily, is excessive?

    Eat properly. You need food to build muscles. Dieting and excessive cardio just removes muscles, and it's a lot more difficult to build muscle than to lose them. You can also do bodyweight exercises.

    Many people don't work. Have you never heard of any?
    Sorry, just your question followed by a question mark AND an exclamation mark sounds a bit judgmental.

    It is very surprising as most people have to work to support themselves... but I didn't realize he is only 18. At that age I had time because was in college. I was thinking he was a lot older. OP I've been where you are with the excessive exercise and it gets to be addicting and then once you start to have commitments and have to work a steady job it becomes impossible and it is miserable and mentally taxing to have to stop. I would try not to get hooked on it now, especially considering how slim you already are.

    How long has it been? Maybe your body is just retaining water since the muscles aren't used to having to work for so long.

    assuming 3hrs cardio, plus another hour of weights, plus your 2hrs walking - if you are only taking in 1400 cal somedays, that means you are likely netting a really low amount (I would say 3hrs cycling is 6-700 cal depending on intensity, plus the other stuff)

    Well, you're an adult and all, but have you chatted with your parents or a doctor about your fitness plans and diet? Seems a bit disordered...

    Get some Kbells, or look up a good BW training program. Convict Conditioning, Naked Warrior, You are your own gym, or anything from the Kavadlo brothers.

    at 5'7" 130ish, there's no reason you can't have a 6 Pack at the weight you're currently at. But first you're going to have to build some muscle so you've got one to expose.

    I'm not sure why you are trying to lose weight here, except that you want your abs to show. The problem with that is that you are already at the low end. Which means any weight you want to lose is going to be either:

    a) Very slow - or -

    b) Take muscle with it - especially at the deficit you look like you are keeping.

    This is not a healthy approach. Having a lean body with abs that show is supposed to be a sign of good health, not poor health. That means you should gain those abs with a healthy approach - not a crash diet, which is essentially what you are trying to do.

    Do some progressive overload resistance training - even consider adding a few pounds first. Then consider a small deficit after building muscle. If you do compound exercises, this will increase your core strength as a natural process.

    If you are doing all that cardio for performance or sports reasons, that's fine, but if so you need to be eating for it. Doing it with a deficit isn't really doing you any favors.

    Also, be patient. It takes time. However, with your build, it may take less than most of us. Either way, do this for health first! The looks will follow and you'll have the advantage of having done it right.

    You're not eating enough. Also, you're still growing at 18. Chill out; This sounds very disordered to me.

    I'd consider a 20 week slow bulk and find a way to start lifting, and eat more protein. You can maximize newbie gains and your gh at this age is enviable.

    Sorry that this is long but just trying to help. :-)

    The human body needs about 1200 calories a day to properly function, so the bare minimum you have to consume is 2200, since you burn 1000 a day. Here's a breakdown for you just in case you were wondering why you need that many calories just to survive:
    -The heart needs 12% of the calories (144 cals)
    -The kidney needs 12% of the calories (144 cals)
    -The Liver needs 23% of the calories (276 cals)
    -The brain needs 23% of the calories (276 cals)
    -The skeletal muscle needs 30% of the calories (360 cals)

    If you want to lose weight you have to figure out your BMR (basic metabolic rate) first, go to http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ and figure it out. Once you figure that out you can figure out the daily calorie needs. Here's what you have to do:
    To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:

    1. If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
    2. If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week): Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
    3. If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week): Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
    4. If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week): Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
    5. If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training): Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9

    Since you are not even close to being obese, take the number that you get and subtract 500. This is what your goal is. For example is your daily caloric need is 3500, you only have to consume 3000 calories a day to lose 1 pound a week. 1-2 pounds a week is pretty good. The reason you've lost 12 kgs a while ago is probably because it was water weight and bloat.

    ............................

    My weight last week was 219 so "I" needed to take in at least 2190 calories to keep from losing. (I am currently 215.8)

    To lose one pound a week, I cut 500 calories a day to 1690. To lose two pounds a week, I cut to 1190 a day.
    I never factor in the calories burned through exercise, but it does increase my loss, so I do as much exercise as possible.

    If you have a Fitbit and you want it to work the best for you, you need a smart scale. Buy one that measures weight, BMI, body fat, muscle, water weight and bone density. Track not just your weight but all of those things. I find it interesting that when I lose weight, my body water content goes higher.

    I concentrate on the muscle mass and body fat measurements. I want fat to go down and muscle to increase. That takes a lot of weight bearing exercise.


    Good luck! :-)
