Why have I started gaining weight?

author4ever

Hey guys! So recently I upped my exercising from 10000 steps to 15000, and in the process, I've gained four pounds which I can't seem to take off again. Overall, I burn 7-800 cal every day that I exercise (three to four times a week) and I'm eating an average of 12-1500 cal every day. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it?

How recently did you up?
Are you still measuring and weighing all your food?

Do you use a food scale to weigh everything?

I record my food on myfitnesspal, but it's mostly an estimation. And I increased near the end of January because my frequency of exercising decreased when I was studying for exams (as a result of which I gained two pounds) so now I'm actually six pounds heavier than I was in December.

Thanks so much for this insight! I will try and just keep the exercise regime up for a couple more weeks and see where that gets me.
