Gaining even doing what I am supposed to...please help :(

At best, I would call the doctor and re-discuss. I think perhaps there was a misunderstanding? Did he mention any other numbers that could have been confused? Did he explain? That number definitely sounds more like TDEE to me. No harm in asking.

This was the only test I got done besides getting a body scan for an accurate BF%.

I have a feeling I need to go see an endocrinologist to see if there is more wrong than just the PCOS.

Everytime I get my thyroid checked they tell me it is in the normal range, but I keep hearing you have to get your T4 tested to be sure and not sure if normal tests do that.

Otherwise I am at a loss. I feel like the only person ever who can't lose weight low carb lol

Thanks for adding me as a friend i did have a look at your diet and there is a few things that i would change if it was me
Eat more good FATS you have a high fat intake but its not good fats things like Almond ,walnuts , Avocados ,coconut oil ,and olive oil also i would add more Veggies like Kale, Spinach ,Radishes, Cucumbers, Broccoli, Cauliflower ,and salads with homemade dressing and maybe add some berries to your diet they are one of the best fruits as they are low in natural sugars .
i my self believe that you need to have proteins and carbs in your diet good carbs are healthy for you and they are the ones found in sprouted grains fruit veggies, lentils, yams
hope this help you

Thanks for the advice bev, alot of the things you mentioned are too high carb to eat a lot of in a day for me. because my cals have been set so high, I have alot of food to get in and that means a lot more meat and dairy than anything because by the time I eat my veggies I don't have much carbs left to work with. I do use olive oil and coconut oil when cooking and do sometimes put coconut oil in my coffee. I eat a good amount of veggies, I may have a few days here and there where it is less, but it is usually just a day that I haven't gone shopping yet. Also, keto is high fat low carb, so that does mean having to eat high fat things like dairy to get my macros to come out right. I do definitely eat nuts, had some nut butter with celery for breakfast yesterday, but if you eat too much they definitely up the carbs.

I either eat green beans, broccoli or cauliflower or salads, I do make my own salad dressings usually, have had a few tough weeks in my personal life, so those things have gone the processed route unfortunately, but it is not a norm. I am staying away from fruit because of the sugar, even adding a serving will put me over my carbs unfortunately.

I know a lot of people don't like the low carb, but this is the only thing that works the best and for women that have PCOS, I am sure the majority have been told to eat low carb. I have tried everything, eating healthy whole grains, legumes, gone pescatarian, went vegan for months - all of these with the carbs just don't do anything for me unfortunately, which makes me believe I maybe very insulin resistant. I am definitely not new to dieting, and if I was an average person I would be skinny by now with the amount of determination and dedication I put in. It is very frustrating putting the effort in and getting nothing in return, which makes it difficult to keep being so diligent and I think that after having been this way for 5 months, I think I have done the best anyone could. I have eaten super clean and that still didn't do much. For the most part my diet is right on track with my macros

Since I have gone low carb I do feel better, and not eating the carbs has kept me on track to not cheat and not eat junk. And I honestly think it is a problem with the cals, not so much the carbs. Like I said there are a ton of people on here that eat junk regularly and lose, and also tons of people on the keto/low carb that don't eat all healthy fats and lose. I have eliminated a lot from my diet and like I said, it is a bit tough to judge the last week, I had a death in the family and unfortunately convenience was needed, but did my best to stay in my carb allotment.

I was trying to follow the keto approach, which is a high fat/low carb plan. I do my best to get healthy fats in there, but there is definitely going to be meats and dairy for the cals and fat in there and I know some people don't consider that good fats.
