That's it. I cannot go on a lower weight anymore. My weight every morning stabilized to about 55.5 kg ~ 56 kg for 4 days now, even at a calorie deficit.
After losing 3~4% body fat (I'm at 10~11% now according to Mike of muscleforlife.com), I can't go down even further. My lower abs started to show and I can feel the one they call 'stubborn' fat being so thin now (but won't still go away). I can continue this diet for a couple of weeks but will compromise my muscle mass, which I don't want to happen. I've managed to decrease muscle loss with whey supplements but that's about it.
Therefore, after 2 weeks of guided dieting (and getting good body fat results), it's time to shift to all compound exercises now and start building mass again - at a fasted state, and WITHOUT GAINING TOO MUCH FAT, and watching my energy balance (as an engineer, I should have known and applied this thing even before I started years ago).
Thanks to Fatsecret, my macro counting has been so precise than ever before. I also bought a gram scale for weighing some foods, I still suck at estimating grams.
