hi, i took a look at your diary...and looking at the numbers it doesn't seem like you're eating enough. how long have you been at this?

dollaqie

Going up and down, past month and a half!!!!

First thought is you aren't eating enough. MFP tells you 1800 cal and you're eating under 1200.

Second thought is there's something wrong with your recording. . .

One day you eat 1 oz of chicken breast (ONE ounce, really?) and it's 71 calories. another day you ate 6 ounces and it's 46 calories. One day a serving of ham is 3 slices, another day it's 6?

Do you have a scale; are these numbers accurate?

I don't see a lot of veggies, either. Are you getting enough fiber (at least 25 g)?

From a quick look at your diary, I definitely think you could eat a little more, and you should focus on getting some more protein in your diet on most days.

What sort of exercise are you doing?

Agree with this

O.o If you're not getting results eating like that, you're either putting yourself in starvation mode or you've got a metabolism issue. Try eating at LEAST 1200 calories a day and see if the scale starts to move then. If it doesn't, talk to your doctor.

I can only agree with everyone you are not eating enough - firstly total calories, but also not enough vegetables and salads.
The biltong and droewors you are eating is very high in sodium - the moment I eat biltong I will see the scale jump up (water retention from the sodium)

Also when you do cardio try some HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) rather than just solid state....I find it a much more effective calorie burner.

Hello!

Your diary is SCREAMING.............FEED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're not eating enough and, your eating is not consistent.

Please check this out and work out your BMR, activity level and your average daily burn in order to work out your TDEE. My advice to you is to then either reduce this figure by 10-20%. I would personally reduce it by 10% to begin with. Give it a month and see how you get on. Set your macros to 40c, 30p and 30f............aim for 2lts of water plus extra for any work outs and, make sure you are going no longer than 3-4 hours in between eating.

good advice.

Also double check ALL entries as not everything in the database is correct, Ive seen a pint of icecream logged with no sugar before, meat with no protein - a lot of entries are for calories only which isnt enough to track your macros. you are responsible for what you are putting into your body.
