3760 is your maintenance? That’s a lot of calories.. 2000-2500 calories is typically maintenance for most people. Of course I don’t know your level of activity..

Fat triggers the least insulin release. Insulin is the hormone that shuttle carbs into the muscles and liver, but it also stores fat and stops…

Hmm your carbs are high. Yes its about calories in vs calories out, but the macros play a part too. Personally, I count calories and count my macros. Granted I probably had alot more weight to lose than you, but I have lost 1-1.5kg (2.2-3.3 lbs) per week for the last 15 weeks using this method. I set my macros to 40% fat,…

It is quite simple at the end of the day. You need to look at your total calorie intake, as well as your macros. Give me a weeks worth of those figures and I will tell you where you are going wrong.
