Is this weight gain or my weight range ?
Hi I've been maintaining for over 7 months with a range of 3/4 llbs. Mostly at first I was at the low end of the range so considered my weight to be that. However I've not seen the low end of the range for a few months now so do I just accept I gained about 3llbs ? Hope this makes sense and thankyou.

Maintenance Food Intake
Because everything I eat tends to be low calorie, getting to 1800 cals is pretty tough. I've been filling my calorie allowance with foods that contain high protein/fat to get my macros up which is working well for me - but it means I don't stop eating all day! I have breakfast, 2 snacks, lunch, 2 snacks, dinner, 2 snacks.…

Do you ever?
Do you ever eat a cheat meal, or a food that isn't actually healthy, such as pizza, cake or cookies one day. Then the next day you get on the scale and you are up a pound or 2? Do you think this is actual fat gain or just water or your bodies reaction as inflammation to the crap you ate? Oh ya, and you only ate a slice of…

It is VERY DIFFICULT for me to lose weight. I work over nights, so most of the time I'll be sleeping. My eating habits are off as well. So I can't figure out a diet plan or workout as much because I need to sleep during the day. I do some light lifting at work, how would I be able to get started, and find the right plan…
