Nice work from Paul there I would dispute the calorie calculation though as 2310 kcals is low for a 16.5st man. I use a multiplication factor of 14 rather than 10, which increase your calories to 3234kcals.

Average figures are Men:2500kcals and Women: 2000kcals.

I would not class you as average if you are training everyday. I expect the average weight is somewhat less than 16.5 stone too

You maybe also like me in that too many carbs in the diet restricts your fat loss progress. I seem to recall you doing well when on the atkins diet.

One thing to try is to increase your protein intake at the expense of carbs. Carb cycling is the best method because ultimately you will get tired due to the reduced amount of carbs on a sustained low carb diet. Therefore a couple of days on low carbs followed by a normal day can also boost your metabolism and fat loss.

Which ever route you follow, stick it out for a few weeks, good progress takes time and you will need to stick with it rather than chop and change.
