My metabolism is out of whack!

I know usually I could eat more but now my metabolism is so slow that I must take drastic measures to lose fat.

I think the carbup on Saturday would be a good idea and my rev up my metabolism.

On my last bulk cycle I was eating a little over 4000cals and not gaining fat... Know my resting metabolism is like 2300 cals [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]

Last year I got to 5% bodyfat eating 2700-2800cals per day on a keto diet.

I do cut the carbs out from my last meal but I think I will start cutting it out of the last 2 meals.

Also it may be a good idea to increase meals from 6 to 7

Iron God: I feel I look like shit!

I am my biggest critic. I feel I look fatter than 9.65%.

Just to give you an idea at 5% at my last contest I was far from ready. My quads weren't cut at all. Upper body was nice but legs weren't close to being ready.

I don't really feel like posting pics now. I may post some in 3-4 weeks and ask you guys if I should keep going or give up the contest prep...

Carb sources:

Breakfast -> 2 slices of Whole Wheat Bread plus carbs from cottage chees
Lunch -> Potatoes only 80g
Supper -> Potatoes only 80g (may change for brocoli)
Other meals -> Carbs from regular protein powder
Post workout -> Dextrose

If it's not hard it's not worth doing...
