My wife and I been "cutting" for about a month now and are slow to lose weight. We both feel like since we started weighing our food and counting/logging every calorie our body composition has changed but the scale ain't showing for shit.
My lifting isn't lagging and I'm still getting stronger. I'm 5'10", 37 years old and I've been at 1600/cals/day for a month. Macros are 170gr protein, 67 fat and 65 carbs.
No cardio except a few complexes a month and lifting heavy 4 times a week. I take vitamin D, fish oil and a multi-vitamin daily, plus 15-20 grams creatine.
Should we be patient with progress since we've both noticed body comp changes or keep cutting cals every 3-4 weeks by 200-250 until it start falling off. I see people talking about 2lbs a week and I haven't seen anything like that with what we're doing.
Every meal is weighed and logged in MyFitnessPal, and we've had maybe 2 cheat days in a month. One of which was....excessive.
I started at about 190 and am down to 186 at my lowest and she started at 200 and is down to 198.
