    If you weigh in the morning and evening, the difference in the scale is the actual weight of the food/liquids you consumed over the day. It's not a true weight gain. Weigh yourself weekly, at the same time of day.

    Measure/weigh your food (don't eyeball it), so that you know you are eating within your calories.

    I was thinking the same thing. You're 62 kg. How tall are you? I'm concerned about what some others have said - you need more variety in your diet. It sounds like mostly carbs. Where are the fats and protein? Also, less than 1200 cal is too low. How long have you been eating like this? I can't imagine feeling very good with just eating the foods you listed. 2 weeks is not long, on the other hand eating what you've been eating for 2 weeks (assuming that's all you eat) is too long.

    You want to lose very little. Depending on where you are on the healthy BMI scale, it may take a while to lose the last few pounds if you want to lose fat and not muscle. :) On some places on the healthy scale, you can do 2lbs of loss a week. Near the bottom, only half a pound a week. Fat can only mobilize so fast, and how much you can burn depends on how much you have.

    So how much do you eat:
    40 g (approx 1/2 cup) dry oats = 150 calories
    80 g (approx 1 cup) dry oats = 300 calories
    And if you aren't weighing your food, then it's possible that your having more like 160/170 calories for half a cup.

    1 bowl rice is pretty much an unknown.
    185 g (approx 1 cup) brown rice uncooked = 684 calories
    Say you ate half of that and your still at 342 calories.

    Honestly looks like you need to become more accurate with your logging.

    Sounds like you are a vegetarian who eats eggs? Eat more eggs. Do you like dal? 1/4 C of raw lentils or channa dal has 12 grams of protein.

    To much sugar will prevent you from losing weight. It's a proven fact that fructose immediately triggers fat production and storage in adults, teenagers are temporarily immune until the develop insulin resistance then fructose make them fat also. You still have to eat at a deficit but without fructose in you system you will quickly start burning fat. I lost 108 lbs doing this. Don't listen to people who defend eating/drinking sugar as just another calorie, It will screw up your metabolism and make you sick and fat sooner than later. Sugar is a treat, not something we can tolerate morning noon and night.

    This is all you eat? You're likely not eating enough and jeopardizing your metabolism.

    No no

    You have no idea how much that is.
    She is not weighing his food at all
    So you dont know how much calories Op gets

    Let her start weighing every bite/food he eats.

    Just to build on the great advice you've gotten, please keep one thing in mind: When you regularly eat below your BMR, your body goes into starvation mode. It won't let go of calories if it thinks there's going to be a lack of them coming in. Find out your BMR and NEVER eat below it.
