So I've been doing CNS for about 3 weeks switching from CBL. I wanna be sub 10% by March. So far in 3 weeks I lost 5% bodyfat and my weight has stayed at 200. The bf measurements arent 100%. I'm using skinfold calipers as a guage. Started around 20% bf give or take. Now I am 15% give or take. My bf seems to be stalling a little in the past week. I get in around 250grams of protein a day. And around 150grams of fat. I am very active. Im a personal trainer. I have alot of clients and often stand for 8+ hours a day training aside from any training I do myself. Do you think I should bump up the protein and fat intake??
I am new at this too but i have listen Kiefer talk about staling points when you are trimming down and that they happen for no particular reason. It´s like a transition point for you body… So like i said i am not an expert but i would wait a little longer before i change any thing in my diet. 🙂

How many Carb Nites are you doing in a week? If only one, you may try having CN every 5th....check out pg 41 of CNS
I wouldn't think increasing either fat or protein would do the trick. You might actually decrease both a bit… at 200#, 250 g/day protein is plenty and might be helpful to drop the fat to 0.5 g fat/1.0 g protein. That's the typical starting prescription for CNS and also the direction you would go to lean out on CBL too.
5% in 3 weeks does not sound right…That being said, your macros look alright, try bumping the fat up closer to 200 and see where that takes u.. If that doesnt work u may need to bring it down in small intervals each week to see if progress picks back up. I always did 1:1 for roughly 4 1/2 months but recently had to drop the fat to keep progress going. Had no affect on my energy levels considering i switched from grain to grass fed beef and butter
I'm gonna plan on incorporating more CNites when I get to 10% bodyfat… And I'll drop my fat down a little and see if that helps… Thanks
I'm sure my BF percentage isn't 100% accurate (as I don't have a dunk tank available) but on the same Site measurements I def lost 5% in 3 weeks. BF% losses fluctuate from person-to-person and being that I started at a relatively high %. It doesn't seem illogical to lose 5% in 3 weeks. It will slow as I lose more. That I understand.
I would increase the fat if I were you or do a 1:1 ratio to your ideal body weight. A lot of people don't count macro's and have great success. I think some people fear fat too much on this forum and without the fat you're not going to get the hormone output needed on this diet.
Yeah I def don't fear fat. Some days I would go over and end up with like 200grams…I sort of adjust it to how I feel during the week with training. If I'm tired and lethargic, I tend to eat more fat.
