Wow, lots of info.
Yes, the lack of cardio is off putting as I am also trying to train ride my bike a long way.
Also, my lifestyle doesn't allow 4 gym trips a week. Maybe two if I'm lucky but in all honesty I won't go.
I have a lot of soda and snacks I can cut down on and a lot of evening eating too.
Eating a lot of vegetables alongside good protein is easy, it's what I do most days.
Getting 8 hours sleep is hard. Kids.
So, my plan now looks like: cut out extraneous snacking and sodas.
Eat well, aiming for 80% of TDEE. Use that to reduce fat% to closer to 10.
Once I'm down to closer to 10% body fat, start doing pull-ups in place of weight training. I can do this at home. Eat more protein when I'm doing that.
Try to sleep as well as possible.
On reality, probably only the cutting down will happen for now.
