    I agree with the rest- it's your inaccurate logging. Why is Jim Beam logged as 0 calories? Also, I noticed there's an entry for a Starbucks latte that is wrong- it's not 60 cals for a Grande. Try 2x that.

    Eat more. Some days you're not netting anywhere close to the minimum your body needs to function properly. That's not healthy.

    Eat more real food and more balanced meals. There are almost not fruits and vegetables in your diet. You eat a lot of processed/packaged foods, which means you're getting a lot of sodium.

    Your protein intake is extremely low. You should be eating 1 g of protein per pound of lean body mass you have.

    A lot of the measurements in your diary seem really odd and potentially wrong. 12 mussels with wine and garlic sauce being 36 calories? That combined with overestimating exercise calories could explain a lot.

    Looking at the numbers op gives, that is the issue. cardio 5/6 days a week on 1200 calories? Maybe netting 600 calories! That is below the BMR for a 145 lb female..especially 5ft5.

    Those numbers are inconsistent. 600 net calories is literally concentration camp level of intake.

    The OP's problem is absolutely not that she needs to eat more - the problem is OP is eating more than she thinks.
