Hello, I would live some others with success to check out my diary see if there is anything I should do to help. I been working out 4x a week and calorie counting. I think I might list inch maybe but no weight. It's very frustrating.

Details like your age, height, weight, body fay % (if you know it), your goals and workout type (and intensity) will help you get better answers.

You're not weighing your food. I'd recommend you get a scale to do that. I also noticed that you're not eating your exercise cals. Unless you're doing TDEE method, I'd eat at least a portion of them back. And lastly, I don't know how tall you are, but I'd aim for at least 100g of protein a day.

weigh your food - you wouldn't believe the differences i get between using a measuring cup and a scale sometimes! and weigh things like rice and pasta dry, not cooked, whenever possible.

Just in case you missed the two posts about me, weigh your food.

Pasta, your oatmeals, and other carby foods should be weighed, because with "settling" in measuring cups, one cup can have huge calorie fluctuations in what you perceive to be accurate vs what actually is. I was shocked at how small 2oz of spaghetti is when weighed vs me doing the "as thick as your thumb" eyeballing.....

I agree with the comments about weighing your food, if for no other reason than eliminating that as a problem. Also, I would encourage you to put everything on your diary (if you aren't) It's for your own record, and if you go to a nutritionist, the accurate listing will greatly facilitate your progress. Also, how long have you been on MFP, and how are you recording your exercise calories? Are you using a HRM for your cardio or are you taking the numbers from the MFP exercise lists? Finally, I see you aren't including your water consumption. Most people are dehydrated. 1 ounce per 2 pounds of body weight is the recommended goal. Drinking water definitely aids the process. Hope some of these comments help. Feel free to message me with more specific questions.
