    Well yeah I do that because I was in bed not moving or burning anything. So everyday was calorie in taking and no moving the body just only crunching to bathroom or hence kitchen to eat the food. Yeah maybe I'll throw back in the bean burrito every now and then, then. Thanks friend:)! So the last confession is I was vegetarian and last year out of this 3 year on going injury I decided to add chicken to my diet 1-6 times a month I'll have a piece cut into my salads which my salads are full of all sorts of veggies thought it would be good for healing my injury.

    Again you answered your own question. You didn't gain because you added chicken (that probably helped). You gained because you eat more calories than you consumed.

    This is quite the mystery novel unfolding. What's next?

    Alright thank you! I will have to add that back in then so I can make closer to the the calorie goal. I still have 400 something calorie to eat for the day but I also go to bed sometimes early than most 8:30/9 and so far not feeling the hunger and its 6:08pm

    Add what? It's quite hard to know to what you're replying, me, someone else, someone 30 minutes ago, unless you QUOTE or otherwise refer. If this is all for you, and has nothing to do with what we post, then carry on, and I'll stop replying (since I'm considering the larger MFP community). cheers

    sorry! I am new to this app and not sure exactly how to reply so I just hit the quote button then from there at the bottom of that it says send and that's what I do. Is there a better way to reply? To your question of "add what" I mean I will add the bean burrito back in.

    OP: I'm out. Review this thread tomorrow, with a fresh eye.
    The take homes messages:
    Your injury, while it sucked isn't "the cause"
    Burritos not "the cause"
    anything else not "the cause"
    in your case, given what you've told us (in segments, piece meal, thus far) the issue is: more calories in than you burned.
    In you case (again, based on what you've told us, thus far, piece meal) it seems to be just calories in, versus calories out.
    Eat less than sedentary "assuming you're still out with the achilles injury) and you should be fine.

    Good luck. cheers

    I guess because it's flower tortia that's not healthy and the cheese that's in them. I feel like that's what made me put on my weight was eating them.

    Why would bean burritos keep weight on if you eat at a calorie deficit? Unless of course they take you over what you need to maintain.

    FLOUR
    (not flower)
    No. that is likely not the issue.

    GOOD LUCK (I suspect you're not ready, but good luck)

    Okay thank you I will give it a try adding oil and more nuts to my salads
    No no no no, I am shy 400-600 per day of my calorie goal. My calori goal from what the ap says should be 1430 and I eat 800-1000 a day. Having a hard time reaching this 1430 calorie
    If you are truly eating 400-600 calories then you need more than just oil and nuts. Chances are you are pretty low on protein as well.

    Being completely honest, regardless of if you were stuck in bed for a complete year you would have had to eat much more than 400-600 calories a day. Even if you literally could not do anything all year but blink you would probably burn double that just by being alive.

    Auto correct, though sophisticated, won't know which correct spelling you intend.
    Best of luck.
