Been on 1600kcal deficit but been plateuaing for 2 weeks now does gut health play a role?

[iwannamog_]

Basically I have been on 1600kcal with between 120-160 grams of protein daily. I've been stuck in the 71.8 to 72.2 range for last 2 weeks. I suspect its my digestion cause my gut health is really bad and I was wondering how much of a role gut health plays in it? Also i've added like low kcal protein chips to my diet maybe that is something that causes a pleateau im not so sure.

How much water do you drink? How many times a week do you go to the gym, and do you use the treadmill on those days? Also, what’s your body fat percentage?

I go to the gym 3-4 times a week. Water intake is quite shit tbh. I do like 15-20 minute treadmill whenever I get the time. Not sure about that I've not gotten a dexa scan or body fat %age measured I would guess between 20-22%(might be an overstimate) not sure though

When this happens to me I just stop eating all together until I see the weight go down at least 3 lb then I'll treat myself to food but honestly 1600 is not enough to gain rapid results it'll take you a year to lose 50 lb.

I think I ruined the quality of my workouts though because I am trying to hit a 225lb (100kg) bench press pr so i was obsessed over that and didn't really focus on other things

I need to lose like 5-6 more kgs I've been on a deficit for 42 days I've lost about 4.4kgs if we're looking at my minimum weight but my weight keeps fluctuating between 71.6 and 72.2 kgs its really frustrating. I've started improving my fiber and I am also going to be more hydrated. My gut health and digestion is really bad and I've also been getting terrible sleep because I have exams soon

Just stop eating altogether.

Bro, drink plenty of water. It might sound like stupid advice, but sometimes your weight doesn’t go down because your body is retaining more water. You’re going to the gym a good number of times per week, so it could be some kind of health issue. I’d recommend seeing a doctor just to make sure everything is okay.

Sure. Right now I'll focus on fixing some habits if that doesn't fix things I'll go and see a doctor
