Hello fellow members!
name is Rodrigo, I have been trying to lose weight both personal and health reasons, for some reason I got stuck at a weight and I am not sure how else to the issue.
Little background info
I am 29 years old, 5'6 tall and current weight of 166lbs, 27BMI, I would like to be at 145-150 10-15BMI if possible. Been at this weight for about a month after quickly losing 15lbs.
Breakfast: (8am) 2 bakes eggs with bacon cheese and broccoli
I have only a handfull of almonds in between breakfast and lunch.
Lunch: (12:30) either fish/steak/chicken with steamed broccoli and carrots.
I have some fruits between lunch and dinner, about a cup of mixed fruits.
Dinner: Salad with steak or chicken or just grilled chicken with cheese.
I drink about 3-4 bottles of water a day.
Supplements: CLA, multivitamin, Fiber bills.
Excercise: M-F I lift weights for different parts of the body, try to limit working that part once a week to let it rest and about 1 hrs of cardio (stationary bike) everyday.
I believe I am eating healthy with the low carb diet and I feel like I am excercising enough to continue to see progress and not plateau.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to lose the motivation.
Thank you.

(Change the cheese for low fat cheese.)
I have only a handfull of almonds in between breakfast and lunch.
(You've got plenty of options for snacks, like microwave baked beans, rice and soup dishes fruits including tomato and cucumber, vegetables including pineapple, raw carrot and celery sticks, peanuts, nuts, bread, low sugar yoghurts, flax seeds, oat granolas, boiled eggs, ham, turkey, beef, chicken and and pork from a packet, sanwiches and low fat cheese.
(Some of those are full snacks some are partial ones, so you'd combine them with others, so you could use some of these options with the almonds or instead of.)
Lunch: (12:30) either fish/steak/chicken with steamed broccoli and carrots.
(good)
I have some fruits between lunch and dinner, about a cup of mixed fruits.
(Same advice here with the snacks)
Dinner: Salad with steak or chicken or just grilled chicken with cheese.
(Fine, but if you're having cheese go low fat)
I drink about 3-4 bottles of water a day.
Supplements: CLA, multivitamin, Fiber bills.
(Fine)

(Cut the cardio as it's a bit over kill and might be burning muscle which is counterproductive to weight loss as added muscle helps to burn more calories. You'd only need about 30 minutes 3x a week every other day really and exercise bike is a good one as it's not too taxing on the legs, which is really good if you've just had a leg workout.)
