How long are you stuck?

when you lose a lot of weight you deficit is getting smaller and smaller
So probably you wiped out your deficit and not losing anymore.

How do you measure your calorie intake? Weighing all your food on a scale?

tburgess242002

Yes I weigh everything I eat thank you very much though

But how long are you stuck now?

tburgess242002

Can you open your diary?

You probably eat more than you think ( unintentionally)

if you've been on a plateau that long, then you're basically maintaining. Its likely you are eating more than you think as for a guy 1670 cals are low.

(I'm small and maintain on 2200 cals)

You're already at maintenance, and more than likely eating more than 1670. (I'm a small elderly woman, and I maintain on 1775.)
