    I have no idea what your diary looks like, but watch the sodium and sugar, do some research about the percentages carbs/protein/fat runners should eat. I do about 3 miles a day, but I'm trying to build muscle so I'm aiming for 40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% fat. I am by no means an expert, but I really suggest doing research about it. Everyone can offer an opinion, but ultimately you have to do what makes most sense to you

    You likely need to eat more. I know, counter intuitive, but for many it works. Here is a useful link by a friend of mine here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/196502-for-the-people-who-work-out-like-crazy-and-are-not-losing

    Second, on the not eating because you don't feel hungry, you need to remember that if you struggle with too much fat, it is likely your sense of when you are hungry or full is probably messed up. That means you cannot trust it to lead you. You need to use your calorie goals to guide you. Here is a post dealing with that http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/231636-the-eating-when-you-re-not-hungry-dilemma

    Are you strength training? If not, you should. You can reach a point of diminishing returns doing cardio only.
