    I can only see the past two days of logging, but in those two days I have to agree with kessler4130 -- you have a protein goal of 60 grams and you should try to EXCEED that every day. What you're not eating in protein, you're eating in sugar or fat. HTH and good job to kessler4130.

    For everyone who kept saying I was eating, now that I'm eating more I'm actually starting to lose weight. I don't think I was giving myself enough calories. I started eating more frequent, small meals, more exercise and I'm including more protein in my diet. It's only been a few days but I've already seen a drop from 158 to 156, so I'll continue to monitor that and see how it stands in terms of water weight, ect.

    I was going to agree with those who said you weren't eating enough. When your calories are too low your body goes into 'starvation mode', your metabolism slows down and you don't burn the fat.

    It's good to hear that by eating more you are now starting to loose weight, sounds like your metabolism has gone back up :)

    You might want to experiment with what level works best for you and your weight loss. Remember that loosing it too fast can also be unhealthy. Good luck!

    Do you use a food scale? If not, you are eating more than you think you are.

    My thoughts as well.

    Until you weigh/measure/track everything that goes into your mouth...
    Assume you are eating way to much.....

    Like I bet you are eating salads out the whazoo....
    And if you are, then you are prolly using salad dressing.....those things are gut bombs.
    Tons of fat....so tons of calories
