Weight hasn't shifted on ages, should I log walking?

Serafimangel

Hello there,


Bit of a veteran lurker here (3 years). I'm stuck.

I workout about 6 times a week, weights twice, running twice, circuits/power Pilates/trx once and normal Pilates once.

I mix up my workouts (even running can be intervals with speed or incline or just a long jog).

I was wondering if I should be logging my walks to and from work? I'm at sedentary as my fitness setting so I log how far I walk. I've used a heart rate monitor last week and it said I burned 300 calories (about 75 mins). When I don't have the hrm I under do this a bit (I say 60 so the cals are closer at 280). When I walk to the gym that's am extra 20 and from my bf that's an extra 25. This usually has me burning 280-500 cals on walking. I don't eat back. Should this count as part of normal life and be the reason I'm not losing? I have a third protien a third fat (nuts/fish etc very low sat fat) and a third carbs and I've cut out fizzy drinks and refined sugar (mostly, sugar tends to be 45-50g sugar total inc fruit and veg).

I'm going nuts here, I've read so many things and can't work out what I'm doing wrong

Any advice would be appreciated

You are missing the most vital information.

How many calories are you eating per day?

Serafimangel

About 1750-1850. Mfp says I should eat 1720 (that's with the 250 cal deficit)

You're probably eating too much. Do you weigh your food?

Serafimangel

Yep, every gram. I'm at work most of the time. When I have coffee or tea both are sugarless and black.
I am meticulous with it (I was anorexic when I was a teenager so logging food is conditioned into me now)

How much do you eat? I'd use http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ so you don't have to worry about logging exercise... I think it just works better overall when you walk a lot.

If you're eating around what it tells you and haven't lost in weeks, I'd go see a doctor and have your thyroid checked or something.
