Why Am I Not Losing Fat?

[newrob]

I would like to get down to 15% bodyfat at 190lbs, but I just can't seem to cut the fat.
I'm male, 46, 5'10", 190lbs at around 20% bodyfat. I train 2-on-1 off with weights and do cardio at 65 - 70%
of my max heart rate using the elliptical or stationary bike 5 days-per-week in the mornings (on an empty stomach,
or shortly after a blender protein shake or piece of fruit), or after my evening workout.
I eat every 2.5 - 3 hours and try to drink 500mls of water inbetween all meals. I take my protein shakes with distilled
water. My morning meal is 60 grams of carbs to 30 grams of protein and every other meal is 30/30 except for after my
workout which is 60 carbs to 30 protein: I try to avoid bread, wheat, white potatoes, white rice or white pasta. i will take
a tsp of UDO's oil with every meal. I supplement with whey protein concentrate or isolate. i usually have a scoop of carb
powder and a scoop of isolate immediately after my workout followed by another protein shake about a half hour later, followed by a
food meal an hour later.
How Can I Reach My Goal?
Any advice from an educated and experienced natural bodybuilder would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Rob

Another Good Site

LiveStrong.com, Lance Armstrong's site is another excellent site for tracking your calories. You can use the basic program, which has always been good enough for me, or for about twenty bucks a year, you get all the lights and whistles. Hope it's ok to mention this here, if not sorry, just trying to be helpful.

try doing wind sprints instead of the stationary bike. Maybe it has something to do with cortisol build up.
