I am a 6'1 male stuck at 297. I burn 500 calories a day for 3 days a week and eat 1500-2000. The app says im 4,000 under my weekly goal but im not losing any weight. Any ideas guys? My goal is to loose 3 pounds a week and my goal weight is 250. The app recomends i eat 2060 but i eat less then that.

Are you sure you are weighing everything you eat? I cannot emphasise this enough.
In my eyes, I see 3lb's a week to be too aggressive and not sustainable. You're probably going to start losing muscle, which you really don't want. Stick to 1-2lb's a week, much more sustainable.

I understand what you're feeling. Don't cut down on your calories, just make sure you clear your daily values and eat plenty of vegetable/fruits. All I can say is try burning more calories & watch your carbohydrates. Don't give up; it's a good like you're doing. It's worth it.0

How much water are you drinking everyday ? Do you log water on here, or an external app ?
Have you been weighing your food ?
How many days a week are you working out and for how long ?0 -
you are eating more then you think.0

Why would you need to watch carbohydrates?

Do you weigh your food on a digital scale, choose the appropriate food from the database (or scan barcodes, build your own recipes) and log everything
Because I would imagine you are eating more than you think0 -

.For breakfast 3 egg whites and one tomato fried in 1 tbsp of canola oil (about 300 calories)
.For lunch either a 6'' subway sub or a chicken salad only greens chicken and vinnegrette ( about 400/500 calories)
.For dinner.. a 4 oz piece of fish and a small sweet potato or another salad
.snacks- fruit and or sunflower seeds (70- 100 calories)

YES BIG TYPO lol0 -
Care to open your diary?
Gow long have you been stalled for? its not linear so soemtimes it moves and othertimes it doesnt.
The most common answers are you are eating more than you think and logging inaccurately.
You are burning less than you think.
You might be retaining water and need to be patient.0 -
I don't drink a lot of water i find myself dehydrated multiple times during the day.0

everything is weighed and i use the map my ride app to calculate my calories burned according to it i lose 500 calories or more on my bike rides0 -
Maybe your scale is broken.
How long has your weight been the same?
What do you the other 4 days of the week, for physical activity?0 -

And how long have you been at 297?
1500-2000 calories is a big range. You when it is people give a range like that? Whenjoy they are guessing.

Opening your diary might help....0

A few others have asked this - how long have you been at it?
If it's a few days or weeks, patience is the place to begin.
If it's been longer, even though you feel you are logging accurately, I'd estimate something like 95% of the people who think that and are genuinely stalled end up finding out they are not accurately estimating/logging calories eaten or burned. Take a longer, closer look at that.
