Good on you for posting a pic! I know that’s hard to do.
I didn’t realize you’d only been at this a couple weeks; that changes things.
Before I go full bore on a long suggestion, how into overhauling everything you’re doing are you? It’s ok if the answer is “I’m not;” I just don’t want to give a bunch of thoughts that aren’t what you’re looking for.
I’m thinking you want to look shredded, and the boxing is just a vehicle to get there, yes?
List your exact meals.
Something is amiss. From the cals you are showing you are not eating enough food to support your functions and you body is prob trying to hold fat in survival mode.
I didn’t even go that low during my competition prep. I was around 2,000cals
No problem - no qualms with posting pics as long as it helps
Would be interested in your thoughts since what I’m doing now worked before but seems to no longer work for me
I feel like this is an annoying truth. The body is AMAZING at adapting to situations with utmost priority on survival.
Starving yourself OP will eventually get you to lose weight (and it will be miserable) but you will pay for it dearly in things like libido, etc…
Best way for OP in my view is what Kleinhound and Nomad mentioned: lift weights, do cardio, eat protein, find colorful veggies to eat.
Forgot to add patience…which I think S.Gentz and Train4Pain are getting to in a few posts.
It totally is! I should have said so, too.
And also that you look fine, OP. It just seems not to be the look you want.
Is this based on a fear of gaining some possible body fat?
By chance do you have a fixation on scale weight?
Have you had your actual BF % trully measured. What do you actually think in your mind that its currently is?
Happy to hear your thoughts and open to variations if they can get me to goal faster - TY
I eat 2 meals per day (breakfast and lunch) of 3 oatmeal scoops and 1 lean chicken breast (roughly 600 cals per meal) and snack on almonds throughout the day.
Also, I do not eat after 6pm
Thanks for the responses - I am doing my boxing workouts to get back into sparring shape (used to spar 8 years ago before I moved out West) and also to shed the extra fat which slows me down.
It’s only been 2 weeks, so I remain hopeful that my diet and exercise plan will work but I still have ways to go … 
So, besides adding some heavy weight intervals to my daily routine, what else would you suggest?
TY
PS: No prob re: pic - I know what I look like and what the problem zones are
Two weeks is a reasonable expectation to start seeing the results of a good diet. The human body responds to fat loss similar as a buffer helps maintain pH of a solution. Your body likes status quo, it resists changes in fat and muscle. (Water retention is very different and can respond very quickly with stark changes, whether it is water loss or gain.)
But your body will eventually respond.
You might have lost some lean muscle. Muscle burns more calories sleeping.
You’re not eating enough and def not enough protein. Your burning any muscle you have and your body is storing fat to survive.
You need a full reset with proper diet and exercises.
Interesting … like I said, this worked for me in the past but now I’ve hit a wall right away.
What would you suggest diet-wise?
And by proper exercise, you mean weight training, yes?
Yes weight training and a diet reset.
You are eating nowhere near enough food and especially protein.
Your pic looks like you are very untrained and do not have much muscle.
You need to start resistance training. It doesn’t have to be heavy lifting to build huge muscles but you need something.
This is what today looked like for me and I’m I a fat loss stage. I’m 5’11”.

steak and eggs… and lift fucking weights !
Makes sense and thanks for sharing - I’ll add a 20-set morning weight lifting routine starting next week and will up my protein by another chicken breast.
Out of interest, how soon did you see actual results since you started your diet? Already after 1 week or does it take longer + how long will you stick to the diet - only a few weeks or several months?
TY!
Brother… you’re essentially in starvation mode. Your body will massively down regulate metabolism, hormones, recovery, etc…
20 sets ?? Way too much especially considering your calories are waaaaaay too low
It takes time. You are gonna take even more time because your diet to start with is not good.
Look at my diet and macros again. Then figure what you’re eating even adding in a breast.
If I was you I would not worry about dieting at the moment and start training and eating to build a little muscle. You don’t need to get huge and fat just eat more overall. Buils some muscle so when you lose the fat you have something to lol at. My current physique took years of building and dieting to achieve. Yours isn’t gonna happen in a couple weeks.
Aha - so too little calories? Sigh … that’s unfortunate
What I am going for is a lean welterweight look - both in terms of performance and look.
Performance-wise, I’m totally ok in my training sessions but I have tons of fat to loose because my body just “puffs” up (bloats) to a crazy extent despite me eating fairly few carbs (only 500-600 cals of oatmeal).
Last time I was in fighting shape was 2019 and I managed to get from fatty to lean / ripped in 2-3 months, so let’s see what this brings.
I will add a resistance workout piece to the mix for sure though.
TY for the intel!
