Check these articles and the concept of ELEL/EMEM:
You’re already on a low-calorie, low-carb diet while doing 7 training sessions (total) per week. You have to ask yourself, where do you go from here to bump progress? Drop calories even more? Train even more and/or harder? You kinda painted yourself into a corner, but it’s certainly fixable.
6 meals a day works for some people, 3 meals a day and a workout shake works for some people. Neither is definitively 100% better than the other.
Intermittent Fasting works for some people too, but it generally requires very frequent monitoring of progress and making adjustments as needed. Also, in my experience, it’s easier to “rationalize” poor food choices during the feeding phase because you’re literally starving and so hungry you want to gorge on everything. Some people do thrive on IF, but it does take a certain mindset/personality type.
