what is wrong

[Euphanasia]

I dont understand what is wrong.. after losing about 2 percent body fat from cutting, i have come to a complete halt in my fat loss efforts. I have tried cutting calories.. from 2200 to 2000 to 1700 and i am to the point where i am about 9.5x my bodyweight. I weigh 175 5'10 14% bf. doing HIIT 4 times a week and lifting 5 days a week.. yet i am stalling. Im doing a 40/30/30..eating real clean. Im thinking about doing 1 hour of morning swimming cardio 6 x a week + HIIT 5 days a week if i dont drop some fat soon. Any suggestions please post.. im desperate.

You've cut your calories too low for the amount of exercise you are performing. Your poor body is shutting down your metabolism - that's why you've stalled. Just ease back on the volume of exercise, or bump calories back up (12 x bodyweight perhaps?). But for the love of God!! Do NOT cut cals. any further!!

Oh man...you think thats why my upper body exercises suck? I think I get under 2000 cals. But I'm afraid if I eat more I'll get plumpier (I'm pretty damn fat as it is)
