Ok thats the probelm! What I am going to say does not apply to EVERYONE..it applies to certain athletes (roughly 13%) Cals 3400
Protein 300
35% Carbs 400 48%
Fat 65g
17% Maybe you don't know this but this high rate of protein intake also has a metabolic cost...about 300 calories! PLUS it overstimulates adrenalin and you move more...it is anti-catabolic...
The low fat does not support growth very well for someone with your stats...
Try the following:
Transitional Cals 3400
Protein 215g 25%
Carbs 425 50%
Fat 95g 25%
Optimal Cals 3400
Protein 130g 15%
Carbs 470 55%
Fat 115g 30%
Something you need to know. Alot of the protein has no place to go...so the body gets very efficient at wasting it. When you first switch to the lower protein...it will take a week to catch up and stop wasting protein!!!
Ways to deal with this...take the week off. Don't do cardio....take aminos every hour...
Another thing...fat will help with hormone production, energy production, an dit will also have a slowing effect on the metabolism.
The majority of this fat should be Omega 3!
Make the switch gradually if you want...say 1/2 way to the transitional then the transitional then 1/2 way to the optimal, then the optimal...then once you are on the optimal, go a week and see how things go! If you don't gain much..you can raise the cals 350-500 in the same ratio and go a week. You should start to see changes again!
Your food choices matter as well! So give this a look:
