Okay. So I'm going to try and address a few questions from other posts here too - thank you all for your input. I really appreciate it.
1) Diet -
Since i stopped tracking my macros its hard to tell you exactly what I'm eating and the caloric content but I'll give you an example of what i ate yesterday (which is pretty indicative of what i eat daily)
Breakfast -
Organic granola cereal
Strawberries
Blueberries
Banana
Low calorie almond milk
(Sometimes i substitute the milk for fat free Greek yogurt and fat free cottage cheese and i add honey and cinnamon)
* i think it's important to note about 2 weeks ago i wasn't eating breakfast as i had become so used to fasting training
The only other breakfast I'll have is ten eggs (4 yolks, the rest egg whites) usually as an omelette with mushrooms, spinach, and onion.
On the side I'll have a muffin or bagel with light butter and honey.

My wife eats more protein then this in her breakfast..
oh no wait there is no protein in this breakfast at all lol
"but bro Granola has protein. It says on the label". Dont even go there. Just dont!
Its just carbs / sugar with no real fats and protein. The hormonal environment you create with this sort of meal is bad news especially when your body fat is high. this meal will hit u hard, spike BG and then you will feel hungry quick.
Add some whey in that meal. cut the granola. cook oatmeal. add some sort of nut butter in it or have little nuts with it. you can have some fresh fruit. no problem.
You know what's the biggest issue I see with you ???
You are micromanaging.
This is not quantum physics. This is bodybuilding. Relax and take a helicopter view of the things and go from there.
As far as the advice listen to what Tenny, Papa Pesty and Rambo said.
Diet is your problem as Tenny said
as i gave u one example your breakfast. My wife who lifts eat better then that categorically.
max you want to blow up is 15 % body fat wise if you have to. some people do.
12 and under is ideal but you need to have exp to be able to do that. beginners and intermediate bbers have issue with that usually. You need to know your body very well and be able to listen to what its telling you at the earliest sign and not need somebody else to tell u that.
after 15 percent bf your calorie partionining goes tits up. So cals make their way to adipose stores nice and easy. Insulin sensitivity takes a hit.
Mini cut and then go at it again.
.
again biggest advice..
Do NOT micromanage bodybuilding.
All the best.
