lost and confused (please help)

MFP does not calculate TDEE,

Of course it does! BMR calculations don't require you to input your activity level. MFP asks for Sedentary, lightly active, etc... No reason to ask that if you aren't calculating TDEE.

bugger the numbers for a minute. how do you feel, and are you taking measurements. how much strength training areayoudoing, could you be replacing a little fat with a little muscle? that would explain static weight. are you seeing any difference in body shape.

if you are doing a reasonable amount of training you really have to eat those calories back to see some improvement in muscle tone. strength training done properly will make you lose weight more slowly, but you will still lose fat and inches.

the opposite happened to me. I went into overdrive to lose my last 2k, lost it really fast, then found I had burned muscle and increased fat.

a lot of people plateau after a few weeks, especially if on the lower end of calories. give yourself a couple of weeks off, eat maintenance calories, and let your body reset. I know everyone wants results super fast, but this seems to have worked for a lot of people, including me.

don't think that junk food is on just because you eat less and stay on calorie limit. junk is junk.
heres my philosophy, if the ingredients on the packet are not really available in the supermarket to add to your food at home, then why are good manufactures adding it.
except sugar, I know why they add this, because it is addictive, makes you crave more, and makes them loads of money.

come on girl, you have come this far, let's do it properly, eat wisely, your body will love you for it, and you will love your body :-)

You can Eat 1200 calories of lean meat or 1200 calories found in olive oil. do you think the difference will be the same. Its still 1200 calories right. Clearly the Oil will have a completely different effect. Try to make sure your calories are balanced. I read Dr. Phil Ultimate weight loss and his formula really helped me to change my eating habit and I see the results. Plan your meals and keep it simple but Stick to your calorie count for the day but break it up into Daily nutritional requirements.

3 servings per day - Protein
i.e. Breakfast (B) - EGGS - 1 whole or white- (moderate by calories) – whole eggs have more calories than white eggs so you get to eat more if you have 3 egg whites rather than three whole eggs.
Lunch (L) - Chicken breast / burger meat / fish , etc -
Dinner (D) - Lamb chop, chicken, fish, lean meat etc.

2 Servings - Dairy
i.e.- low fat cheese, yogurt, skim milk, etc

2 - 3 Servings of Carbs (whole grain or wheat when you can)
i.e. Oats, Bread, Bagel (half), muffin, Brown Pasta, Brown rice, High Fiber Cereal

2 Servings of Veggies

2 Fruit

1 serving of Fat
i.e. Nuts - olive oil - low fat oil can be 2 tbl spoon

A serving is measured by the label and not how much can fit on your plate. Good Luck.
