You're already down to about 10kcal / lb / day, which is pretty low. (What are macros on days you don't eat carbs?...)
What was your diet like initially (start of prep)?...
How long have you "stalled" and what was your rate of fat loss initially?... (How long did it take you to lose the 17lb from 242 to 225?...

I put the wrong macros in my previous post, my current macros are:
P 261 (not 350)
Fat 46.5
C 103
No carb days are
P 246
F 32.5
C 12
When Initially started my macros were:
P 220
Fat 61
Carbs 168.5
My stall was this week, I didn’t lose any fat. I feel like next week will be the same (just how I feel as I have a decreased appetite).
I started Jan. 14, but fat loss has been inconsistent. 3lbs initially, then about 1-2a week. Then once my diet changes, 3lbs then 1-2 a week again. I went from fasted cardio 5 days a week (30 min), then I added 20 mins post cardio, now I am at 30 minutes post cardio in addition to feted cardio. The increase in cardio and change in meal plans is what lands the 3 lbs fat loss. However I seem to adjust metabolically in about a week in a half.
Last year I was doing half the effort (3-4 cardio sessions and 4-5 training days) and eating more cheat meals (less adherence actually I was eating chocolate here and there) as I was trying to learn IIFYM and I dropped 20 in the same time frame. So I am thinking I the lack of cheat meals ( calorie surplus) is causing my body to adjust more rapidly to diet and training.
I am thinking I can increase my metabolism by eating more with less cardio. Then re-introduce cardio less frequently like 3 days instead of 5 and 15 minutes instead of 30. Then as fat loss stalls increase time to 20min. Then add another day as I progress. I just think my body adjust quickly.
Thinking about what i have been reading you say: if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
Can I reverse diet and proceed or will that derail me, especially with the starting fortitude?
