Another thought - I hold onto water weight during ovulation and my period. I don't know how that falls for you, but something to keep in mind.
Okay I will keep trying with the creatine and see how it goes. Yes I do retain water during my period I know it's due within the next week roughly. I will definetley keep my patience pants on lol! 😁 I don't eat my exercise calories back because I never know how many calories exactly I'm burning. I do wear a Fitbit but I don't know how many times I've heard from others including personal trainers that the calories burned on you're Fitbit is not accurate. I mainly use it for steps in work as my job is very active
Wait til after your period and see if you woosh some weight off.
You're supposed to eat back exercise calories, using MFP. That's how it's set up. Many people eat back 50-75% to account for overestimates, but you should be eating some. Especially if you have an active job.0 -

But I'm never sure how many calories I've burned and I'm worried I eat too many. Do you think even 100 calories to eat back on training days would help?

I'm guessing, looking at your profile picture, you do a cross-fit type workout?
For weight lifting, MFP gives me about 180 calories for an hour. I'd eat 90-100 calories of that, personally.1 -
