Hello,
I'm generally new here. Been lurking for a few months trying to absorb as much information as possible, mostly to make sure that the steps I take are carefully planned out. So firstly, I would like to thank everyone for their knowledge and willingness to share. I am 35, male, 6'3 and 279lbs, 30% to 33% BF depending on how my work week goes (I feel I am sensitive to cortisol levels). Suggestions go a long way for me, as I thirst for knowledge above all else, however I have a dilemma. My work schedule is insane. I am a driller working in the Appalacia region and am sometimes several hours from a proper gym, and traveling everywhere with dumbbells and other weights is prohibitive of a good proper workout. Housing sucks and space is extremely limited. 13 hours a day for 2 weeks straight like this. I have been calorie deficient and have been eating mostly clean for a year or more. Some added bulk would be nice, but I am more concerned with trimming up, and ideally drop down to 20% BF. My problem is, even being in a deficit, and eating clean, (macros at 65 25 10 2300kcal/day or less) I can't seem to lose the BF. Blood work is normal range, but I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror, I feel disgusting. I am thinking of enhancing my workouts and diet with something, but I was hoping for opinions and advice before I make a final decision. Any takers?
