DIARY IS OPEN AND I NEED YOUR HELP

I concur with the posters here saying too much in the way of processed foods. I'm hazarding you are not getting enough fiber, and I can see you are high in fats and sodium (Processed foods are high in both).

Also, log your veggies and fruits. You might be a grazer when it comes to the veggies, and downing 300 or so calories there.

Also, bear in mind, you are not just losing body fat. You are also converting body weight from fat into muscle, and muscle is heavier than fat. You can see the results here by recording your neck/hips/waist.

Muscle is not heavier than fat it is denser than fat, so if you gain muscle you will LOOK smaller but WEIGH the same or more.

It honestly doesn't matter which weigh more because the OP is not gaining muscle on a calorie deficit. She is not morbidly obese, the the likely of this is very slim. It's only been 10 days, if anything it's the natural fluctuation of water weight or water retention from workouts.

OK FOLKS I'M ALSO GONNA POST MY TDEE, BMR, ALL THAT GOOD STUFF. IN CASE ANYBODY HAS SUGGESTIONS ON TWEEKING CALORIES TO MEET MY GOAL.

If you are going to do TDEE, you need to include exercise and not eat back exercise calories. I would suggest redoing the calculations with exercise built in.

ok, I exercise 6-7 days a week for 30_60 minutes. On these calculators it's confusing what exercise calorie I'm in b/c most of them have a description based on the type of job you do.

Your job is no different than 90% of us on here. I have a desk job and I use moderately active. I lose on average 1 lb per week and I am about 12% body fat. So I am fairly lean. The key, lift heavy, lift often and then through in some cardio. I would suggest lifting for 30-60 minutes 3-4 days a week, and 1-2 of cardio and set your account to moderate and eat the same thing for a month. After a month come back and reevaluate your situation. If you don't lose weight, drop it to lightly active.

ok, by changing that it looks like I should be eating about 2000 per day

Sounds about right. Keep in mind you do not eat back exercise calories when using this method. Also, I would adjust macros to around 40% carbs 40% protein and 20% fat. If you want you can add fats and decrease carbs.

Right, 1 cubic foot of muscle is heavier than 1 cubic foot of fat.

Essentially, using the body dimensions, you are figuring out your body's density.

I'd like to see you cooking more food from scratch, rather than eating ready-made meals. Make a big-*kitten* dinner (stir-fry, spag bog, whatever) and have it for a couple of dinners and lunches. That way you know exactly what is in it, can make it all fresh foods, no preservatives etc, and minimise sodium and whatnot. Plus it's probably cheaper than buying every meal as an individual unit.
