I need a bit of help regarding my calories.

>TDEE is 2060
>for the past three years my average daily calorie intake has been no more than 1400
>dropped 40lbs in the first few months, then plateau
>drop to 1200 while also working out 5 times a week, solidly for five months
>nothing other than losing a few inches, zero weight loss
>cardio, lifting and logging all food

I can't cut anymore calories, so I've decided to slowly increase to my BMR (1800), maintain for a few weeks while still exercising, then reducing to 1500.

Is this a good idea or am I just going to gain a load of weight that becomes impossible to drop?

Stop eating.

I'd like to do this but I don't think it's doable in the long term.

Although I guess it I died and became a skelly, I wouldn't feel fat anymore. Maybe I could give it a go.

Have you had any refeed days in there? When I did my stupidly steep cut, I had a massive bowl of rice every friday that would make me hit my standard daily intake. Kicked my system up a notch, and helped me burn through the fat a bt better imo.

Otherwise, spend a month or two at maintenance, and let your body get used to its new self, then start slowly cutting down the calories again.

Also, hit the qtddtot or /fat/

Not really. Occasionally I'd have a holiday or a take away on a weekend but generally I'd fix it into my calories for the day. I started to realise something wasn't right when I hit four months and saw nothing, despite adding in the cardio and lifting. This is my last option because other than this, I can't think of anything else I might be doing wrong.

Drop to 1000 then

you need to increase your muscle mass to increase your metabolism. otherwise you need to increase your cardio (intensity or volume)
