    @ken994 you need to weigh all your food with a digital food scale. Measure liquids with measuring cups and spoons designed for liquids.
    If the problem doesn't resolve in a couple of weeks of tighter logging start your own post.

    Cheers, h.

    it sounded like you were a healthy weight BEFORE you started your diet :/

    and for what its worth, in a week and a half you wont have gain more than a few pounds and they'll be mostly water. You've not been eating enough for your height and your metabolism is messed up is whats happening. You need to stick with eating those 1500 for a while so you body adapts and gets used to those extra cals. At your height you will not gain eating that amount, I'm only a small fry and I don't gain eating 2100+ cals.
