    My food calories I eat are accurate I have logged with myfitness pal for 3 years and I keep a very accurate Log. I did take a break from logging the last month or so because everything is making me crazy but my habits didn't change.

    Stress can do crazy things to the body. Are things still crazy?

    Because your eating close to 1700c and you might be eating too much?

    Seriously...

    Carbs aren't the best friend in the world for active people when trying to lose weight, they are a tool for loading when racing etc, but practically useless to us really...I mean like heavy carbs so excess of 100g max a day...

    I think perhaps your carb intake might be higher than what it should be if your training... I used to get into that pitfall....

    You need more protein to rebuild the muscle than glycogen to replenish muscle stores....

    Also you say training for 2 hrs? Is that running at say half marathon pace or faster, or marathon/ultra pace? Because your burning of 2100 seems not quite right for that activity, I mean 1200 base + maybe 1200-1400 for running at mod pace for 2hrs means total of 2300-2500... Even if I went for a 2 hr run, the most I would eat total is 1600... Sure I would only "net" 2-400 calories, but I was fine with that as long as kept protein and fats up... carbs during run maybe sure, but didn't go over board as a nice juicy steak is better :D

    So I think look at what your eating... For me basically my issue is carbs... Most peoples issue is carbs plain and simple, they have too many...

    Hope I somewhat could be of help, even if a little :)

    If I was the OP I'd say that this wasn't helpful AT ALL. Sorry. Carbs are not going to cause her to gain weight--and netting 2-400 calories is not sustainable or healthy, period.

    If you train a lot it is very sustainable. Also weekly targets I aim for not daily.... Humans did not evolve eating by the clock..l scientific factor you right there.... Carbs? Sure but actually considering health experts and running coaches are finding in studies a high carb intake actually impedes weir loss and decreases performance... Why in the hell would I aim to eat more of something science has proven to be bad to what I believe in?

    You say you do not even run or have run or cycled competitively... So our kind of thinking sets are different to start out.

    Carbs? PSMF world wide works.... Again a scientific fact that has been proven.. That also is low cals, and no negative effects.

    CRON? If done correct it yields the best health benefits of any eating that has ever been done according to blood and hormone markers and responses yet is under 1000 cals before training....

    There is a world of scientific excessive that proves calories are a stupid and lame excuse for the not attentive individual. Nutrition is what our bodies require and even if hard to get everything on 6-800c a day, it is very possible and has proven medical benefits, but the normal person will not spend the time needed and that is why it is said to be unhealthy. On 1200+ you do not need to calculate as diligently however your body treats the excess calories badly and it affects your health, but if never tried to do low cal correctly or never read scientific journals or research meterial, then please do not give advice on stuff you actually have no scientific knowledge about.

    Care to post studies where lean individuals did not have significant issues with a VLCD - I can post a bunch where they did. Also, could you cite sources where carbs impeded fat loss (note I say fat and not weight loss) or performance?
