Your most recent rice logged is logged as cooked, which is less accurate than uncooked (how much water is absorbed, etc).
And your Subway entry doesn't show any condiments on it.0 -
Are you drinking the egg whites raw? Or are you cooking them? If you're cooking them, how are you keeping them from sticking to the pan without any oil, butter, etc.?0

The way I've learned from people on MFP: weight the whole jar of peanut butter, tare the scale, take your serving, then weight the jar again. The negative number you see is how much you've eaten.
HUGE difference
That's such a neat little trick. I'm ashamed that it took me so long to learn it. Before, I'd weigh the spoon without the PB, then tar it out and weigh it with the PB.... and of course, I'd have PB all over my scale by the time I was done. Really, I felt kind of dumb when that eureka moment happened and I figured it out.
I was doing the same thing with mayo and making a huge mess.0 -

I am excited to try this, I feel very silly now0 -
OP--this system, calories in-calories out, works very well if you are precise. You have to weigh and measure everything or it won't work. That's why everyone is insisting on it. That is where you should start. After 2 weeks if you still aren't losing come back and we'll fine tune you.0

There's many things i wish i'd done and known when i first started my diet. The most important one, weighing and logging all food.0

I had to fiddle to find actual calorie amount to lose.0

Your diary looks a lot like mine used to before I started lurking on these forums. Underestimating by a ton, I would be so proud of staying under my goal, but I was really just lying to myself. Once you accept that you'll be better off.0

That might be the issue. You are already eating very little, so the issue might be that you are not eating enough calories back after your workouts.
And even if she did eat too little, she'd still lose weight.
Starvation mode happens for actually starving people. You know, the ones that are dying. Starvation mode isn't the body conjuring calories out of thin air to make someone stay fat.
That is actually true but it can account for her body's slow loss as her metabolism is slowed... She is losing just not at a pace to account for the low calorie intake0
