    Are you measuring and tracking what you eat. It really make a difference.

    You can eat nothing but "clean" healthy foods and still gain weight if you are in a caloric surplus. The key is burning more calories than your body consumes each day. It doesnt matter where the calories come from. If you want the scale to go down, you must track.
