Doing everything right but gaining weight?!

Calorie deficit for weight loss and exercise for fitness. If you are not losing weight, there is a miscalculation somewhere along the line.

ETA: Do you log accurately? Do you weigh everything? would you be willing to open diary?

It's not your metabolism. Move more or eat less. How long have you been gaining weight? How much weight have you gained?

Looking at your diary I think your eating more than you think. Quite a few items are down as a serving or non liquid items down as cups. Cups are only accurate for liquids everything else needs to be weighed. A cup of broccoli for example will depend on how small you chop the broccoli where as the weight is constant. Get the small things correct.

Ddi you just start here? I ask because there is not a whole lot of logging in your diary. What is logged, I suspect is pretty inaccurate because nobody eats 700-900 calories a day and gains weight. That's just not the way it works.

My suggestion is to log consistently and accurately and, as my boyfriend's doctor says, "If you bite it you write it!" Yep, that's every single bite.

I had a habit of forgetting I ate something if I don't log it in. Believe me, it's easy to do.

Eating healthy doesn't mean that you're eating correctly for your needs. How many calories are you eating? What is your BMR? How many calories do you need to eat to maintain your current weight at your level of exercise? How often do you eat during the day? What is exercising 6 days a week? How many hours? Is it all cardio or do you strength train as well? If you're gaining weight and exercising you could be eating too much, or not enough. Not enough is actually more common than people think. There are some great tools to figure all of this out, but it requires sitting down and determining a few things so that you can adjust your nutrition accordingly.

I just looked at your diary and I see lots of mistakes. 140 calorie yogurt and a splenda is not breakfast for someone who is working out 6 days a week. Also, one of your days shows that you only consumed 950 calories of your 1700 calorie allotment for the day. If this is what you are doing every day, you are setting yourself up for a huge disappointment. You might loose a pound or two at first, but it will all come back with a vengeance once you binge (and you will do this at a near 50% caloric restriction that you are doing). Even people who train to be fitness models don't restrict themselves like this). You must eat and you must eat according to your needs to see results. But you need to figure out your goal. Then what you need to eat to achieve it.

I agree with everyone here, what you do have listed in diary seems to be way less than what your probably eating.

Get a digital scale and way everything. It will make a huge difference. I did it, there was so many things I was over eating on because I was eyeballing it or using a cup to measure.

Give it time. Good luck.
