Can't go below 16-17% body fat. What is wrong with my diet?
I started to loose weight 1 year ago, when I began to practice MMA. Few months ago I realized I lost too much weight so I began weightlifting. I was around 79 kg ( 174 pounds ) last year and my current weight is 68.5 kg ( 151 pounds ) and I am about 179 cm tall ( 5 feet 10 inches). My scale shows me I have around 17-18% body fat.
My diet consists of:
Breakfast - around 8:00 AM
canned tuna in water ( 120g )
whole egg ( medium )
sometimes, but rarely ( since I try to cut ) 1 smashed banana with oatmeal
Snack - around 10:00 AM
protein shake with water/milk ( 42g protein, 0.4g carbs, fiber 1.1g )
Lunch
usually chicken breast with cheese and rice/potatoes
Snack - around 2:30 PM
protein bar ( 16g protein, 25g carbs-15g simple sugars, fat 15g )
Snack - around 5:00 PM
greek plain yogurt
Dinner - around 9:30 PM
usually chicken breast with rice/potatoe, but in smaller portion than lunch
Thank you

One thing you can do - move rice/potato from dinner to breakfast. No carbs at dinner. MMA and other fightings makes you weight stable. To run lower your BF percentage - go to fitness club and work with heavy iron. Heavy training accelerates your metabolism by 24 hours, while MMA 2-3 hours after training.
