really frustrated with not losing.. My calorie goal is 1390 per day.. Can anyone suggest a good menu? As clearly what I'm doing is wrong.. Macros were set by MFP at 50% carbs 30% fat and 20% protein but I don't think this is right for me :/ help!!!!!

    Do you weigh all your food on a food scale? So not using cups/spoons or serving sizes
    And how long aren't you losing weight?
    How much do you have to lose?
    Do you exercise?

    You can eat everything you want ( if no medical issues of course) as long as you eat less than you burn.

    You've only logged your food for the last 12 days. Are you really weighing out your cereal to 30gms every morning on a digital scale? Your buns never vary in calories. Bread/buns almost never weigh the same day to day. I've had brands that have slices that weigh 50% more than what is listed as a serving size.

    You haven't seen the scale move at all in the last 12 days?

    You eat a lot of packaged food - if you aren't weighing it out you are likely eating more than you think. By weight, 8 biscuits could be the calories of 10 biscuits on the serving size. How big is a slice of ham? Are the bread rolls identical?

    Weigh everything!

    Have you checked your entries to make sure they're accurate? I haven't found the bar code scanner to be helpful... Most of the recommendations I get for foods when using it are wrong.

    When you weigh all your food, how come like 5 slice of ham and buns etc always weigh the same?
    etc

    You eat more calories than you think.

    I honestly do weigh everything! I promise you that and I scan barcodes to get the initial calories.. I measure my
    Milk .. I have my Fitbit paired with MFP so should I just not eat extra calories I earn?

    Scanning barcodes isn't necessarily accurate. Have you checked all the entries you use? Do they have the right information?

    Yes I always use 5 g of butter.. I weigh it out before putting it on and I adjust the calories as per the weighed portion that I have.. Feel like your saying I'm lieing!! I'm not! I actually weigh everything and measure my milk.. I prepare what I'm having for the day every morning and only eat what is prepared!
