I'm a 45-year-old male, 221.2 lbs, and 20% body fat. My goal is to reach 180-185 lbs and 13-15% body fat. I've been reverse dieting for 2 months and am currently eating 2800 calories, up from 2400 calories, with 180-200 grams of protein. I'm strength training 4 days a week and walking 8-10k steps a day. My weight is staying the same, but I'm getting stronger. When should I start to lean down or start cutting calories?
Is it possible that I'm eating too little? Should I eat more now that I have started anabolic training, or should I stick to a deficit? I'm just a little afraid of getting much heavier.
