Should I up my calories?

[ariolanine]

Currently 205 and looking to lose another 10 pounds of fat. I am eating 1800 calories a day and lifting 5 days a week, one body part per day. After weights I do 25 minutes of cardio. The fat loss has stalled completely. Am I eating too little? Should I up the calories and cardio?

Dont know if it helps but...
I cut on 1800 cals and I weigh less than you man.

205 x 12 comes out to nearly 2500 cals!

Yeah, alot of people tell me that. I think I just have a slow metabolism because I got fat eating less than 3000 calories a day.

Wow.... Just curious, what and when were you eating when you gained on less than 3k?

Eating common food. For breakfast I would have cereal. Lunch I would have a sandwich and chips. Dinner would be spaghetti, pizza, hamburger, etc.. A lot of carbs but I never ate sweets. I did drink more beer. Now I limit it to one night a week. As a teenager I ate and drank all the time and was ripped at 175. As I got older I started eating less and less and I just got fatter and fatter.

FWIW ariolanine,
I eat small meals/snacks every 2 to 2.5 hours and it seems to have gotten my metabo raging.
