Yea that sounds very similar to what my diet is. I as well have portion control issues. I even bought a fancy new glass scale but fuk it's hard to get in the habit of weighing everything out. What are you weighing in at now? I used to keep my proteins around 300 until I tested my urine and I was spilling proteins. See if you can get some urine sticks, you could save yourself some money and time.
I'm not changing anything for next couple of months. I will just be incorporating a bit more cardio as the weather gets nicer
can i just get urine sticks from the pharmacy? it wouldnt surprise me if im spilling protein lol... i could smell it before i lowered my portions within the past year but the odor went away so maybe not as much.
i was 200-205 at the end of my cycle, and havnt weighed myself since
il weigh myself today and if its below 190 im going to do a summer bulk 
Well if you google ketogenic diets you will get a plethora of info...thats essentially eating as much meat and veggies you want....these diets have been used by doctors since the late 1800s to reduce obesity in patients, and it works....there are numerous studies on it....there are a lot of complicated books to read full of medical terminology, but a very simple read on the subject, which includes tons of references of these studies from 100 years ago until present, is Why We Get Fat
Amazon.com: Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It (9780307272706): Gary Taubes: Books
Very simple read. Not that its for athletics or bodybuilding, but please if anyone is a reader I urge you to get this since its so quick an easy read....and goes through studies comparing the whole calories in calories out thing, the stupid food pyramid stuff, and why so many doctors dont know jack shit about nutrition....all of us our different, so some of us can tolerate more carbs and stay lean as heck, but if you are crushing green veggies in addition to nothing but meat, fish, and fowl, especially considering everyone on here I am assuming trains their nuts off, takes protein shakes, and lots of BCAAs, you are not going to get fat....if you do add carbs in to all those meat and veggies, then you will spike insulin and change the entire hormonal cascade of things and get fat potentially.....but its a pain at first preparing food, and I gotta be honest I do not stick to it strictly, but I was stuck at 245lbs for nearly 8 months, doing double training sessions a day, intervals and athletic circuits in the morning and a heavier lift at night, with a long walk later at night, and stayed consistent 245lbs....I did strict meat and veggies for two weeks, dropped 12 pounds instantly, kept 2 training sessions a day, nailed an easy 375 bench, 225 for 20 reps, and deadlifted 500 for 20 reps via 2 reps everytime the clock hit a minute, so 10 minute total. For various injury reasons Im not one rep maxing, Ill tear something, my force production is higher than this old body can take...point being, I did the strict version, dropped weight, and stayed strong, as well for giggles got dunk tannked at 7.9%.
As for interval training, there also is tons of research on that...just google it....or google it along with Alwyn Cosgrove he always cites lots of research and keeps up on fat loss research, maybe Mike Boyle too....there is so much info out there and research explaining why and how intervals are a much better option than steady state cardio....

I did Dan Duchaines BodyOpus in college, and got shredded...however I will advise against it for an athlete, as I do not know if it was overtraining, or just being on keto and doing football workouts, but I tore a bunch of muscles while on that diet....so although I believe in keto, for power athletes playing sports still, Im thinking carbs are needed, at least morning and post workout...I think some folks do modify the low carb diet to include morning and post workout carbs with good benefits still
