Can someone please look at my diary and explain?

It looks like you have a lot of homemade foods, which is great, but sometimes it is hard to tell the calories. I had beef stew last nigh and mpf said it was under 400 calories, but I can tell how I feel today it must have been more.

Huh?
It's simple to be accurate when calculating calories and nutrients of homemade foods...weigh each ingredient before cooking and log it. Simple. (You can use the recipe builder, too, if it's something you make often, or in large batches)

If you just pick someone else's database entry of course it's going to be inaccurate, everyone's recipe is different.

Probably aren't eating enough calories and your macros are off, like others have mentioned. I'm your height and weigh just a bit under you, don't exercise in the winter because I'm lazy and hate treadmills, and consume 1,400 cal a day. When I run 5-6 days a week I eat 1,850 cal a day and never eat back exercise calories. Increasing helped me start to lose again.
