I did 16/8 fast with a low calorie diet and my weight plateaued?

I have been doing a 16/8 fast for the last 4-6 months and I have kept my calories around 3-500 calories below my tdee so around 1500-1600 calories while hitting the gym as normal 4-5 days a week. I still feel like I’m not lean at all? I’m not overweight but there’s fat covering my muscle? And I have plateaued with my weight loss at 68kg (5.6ft) which I don’t understand? Have I screwed up my body’s weight loss and need to reset somehow? I don’t feel like i can lower calories more? What should I do?

Answer

Stay the course. If you’re correct with your calorie counting/TDEE estimation, it’ll eventually give. Also, don’t forget to recalculate your TDEE if you’ve lost weight already as that’ll reduce as your weight does.
