First off - this is RMP, not sure why you would wanna post here for advice.
But that being said, grats on the fat loss - seems like you did very well there.
IMO, and im sure most ppl on here would agree, its time for you the BULK. Fat content is down, more sensitive to insulin spiking etc. Start eating huge, eating clean, and lifting heavy.

Thanks for the feedback Otto. Dont u think i should drop to say 12% Bf b4 i bulk ? Is it possible to drop BF with my diet or too many carbs ? I cant hack KETO for too long and I love my complex carbs

Thanks All ( for being gentle :-)) - I guess I’ll go now and eat something.
Just curious have you guys ever wondered about this - recommended protein intake 1.5 - 2 gr per pound of body weight so in my case about 300-400gr.
Now it also stated that our bodies can only process about 25gr of protein per serving and the rest we get rid of as waste.
Hence if I eat 6 meals how the hell am I going to ingest 300gr ( I was thinking intraveneous - if thats how u spell it)
Oh well thay say a little knowledge goes a long way but too much internet surfing ( 2 years of inhaling every bit of nutritional info I could get my fat hands on) and it fucks with ya mind
I personally would choose cut if I were you… YOu have children, Im assuming a job as well, and as those who do it know a CLEAN bulk takes oodles of time to prepare all the food. I spend my whole sunday cooking my food for the week and prob an hour or two everynight just prepping it for the next day…
Cutting requires much less food and time IMO and thus more time for your kids… If you get down to say 8-10% BF you will be feeling great and have much more energy for your kids. To to poster that said 15% BF would elicit higher insulin sensitivity… I think its negligible, much greater sensitivity would be felt at a lower BF
I was too lazy to smile ( wouldnt want to wast those precious calories on putting to work thwe hundred or so muscles required to smile)
