what's my problem?

I dont record my eating. I usually have about 5 -6 slices of reduced fat wholemeal bread...

I don't know about anyone else, but if I ate 5-6 slices of any kind of bread in a day, I'd be so bloated it wouldn't even be funny. Also, reduced fat does not equal reduced calories, so you could be eating as much as 600-900 cal/day in bread. (or maybe more- again, you'd have to weigh it)

Cutting your eating does NOT mean cutting your calories. For lunch today I'll be having a huge garden salad, and the whole salad including dressing will be less than 200 calories. Eating HALF a quarter pounder would put me at more calories than that. WHAT you eat plays a huge role in it

1. Log everything you consume (food, drink, condiments, etc)
2. Eat a balanced diet (do you eat veggies, fruit, beans, etc?)
3. Watch your macros (protein/carb/fat)
4. Watch your sodium intake
5. Drink enough water

1 slice is about 88 cals. 2 slices each meal with vegetable and scamble egg. I spend most of my time at school so i dont have many choice

If you don't record your calories, you have no way of knowing how much you're truly eating.

I will start recording my my calories But I know i only eat more than 1500 occasionally

I didn't always keep track of my calorie intake on here for the past months and I complained that I was not losing any weight, but I was working out consistently. Now when I think about it, I must have not been at a deficit if I did not lose any weight. Now that I have come to terms with myself not being right about it and just guessing, I am weighing and measuring everything. Give it a try for 2 weeks to a month and hopefully you will see results. Good luck

Thanks not losing weight is not my problem my problem is i eat much less and go to the gym and i actually gain 3 kg. I would not be so frustrated if my weight stay the same.

So, the advice appears to be that you need to track your eating, find out how many calories you are eating and then eat fewer.

If you're gaining weight, you're eating too many calories. Period.

No problem. What I was saying though is to make sure you account for EVERY calorie going into your mouth. Losing weight must be a problem if you gained weight. I gained 10 lbs when I though that I was eating sensibly, cutting calories and busting my *kitten* at the gym or with insanity. Point is if I gained and if you gained that means we were not eating at a deficit or at maintenance. We were eating at a surplus. The only way to know for sure is by tracking calories. That is why we are on MFP. Track your calories. You are eating much more than you think.
