Yeah, which is also why it's hard to find any suggestions. No I haven't had any bloodwork done related to nutrient levels, since I was always able to lose weight.

6 times per week is a lot, but it's the only way I managed to maintain consistency. As twisted as it sounds, it's way easier to go to the gym if I know I have to go every day rather than say "oh I'll anticipate the rest day to today" (and then I won't go the next day either). On Sunday, when I rest, I feel zero guilt, my body is exhausted and I know I NEED that day. Sometimes if I feel too tired I take an additional day, either Monday or Wednesday, depending when I discover my body can't handle anything else.

Poor sleep could be an option, hard to say. I have two children, sometimes I feel rested, but sometimes I don't sleep enough, in which case I'm hungry all day. The diet is good, we are originally from Italy, so we cook all our meals. My wife is really good at cooking, that sometimes is a disadvantage too.
