    If you want advice, you need to open your diary so we can see how ' not badly' you may or may not eat. And by not badly, I mean how MUCH, as there are no good or bad foods.

    Could be normal fluctuations, TOM, or poop build-up.

    Thanks I feel like I poop already a lot though as if I clean my system out everyday every morning I feel have good system there and feel always clean. Ugggg think it's honestly genetics.

    Or you are really eating to much

    without any stats and a close diary it is hard to give advice

    I have kept accurate count of calories, yes! Work out yes when I can. I tore my achillies so some days walking is good and others not so much. I have to listen to my foot and ankle each day.

    Yes I certainly do! I ration out my food each time! I can barely afford food. So I definitely plan and portion it out.

    Difference between weighing and measuring food

    No for me I don't weigh food on a food scale. Like I said I ration my food out because I can barely afford it so I have to make it last. So for instance I buy two dollar bags of spinach and a rotisserie chicken 5.99 I get 6 salads out of that. That's 1.33 a salad then my protein shake .50 x3 a day. That's 2.88 a day. Then I buy $3 worth of fruits that last me the week and some beans here and there.

    Well the video says it all

    You eat to much calories. You have no idea how much calories you eat. It is a well known problem
    And for 15 dollars ( food scale on amazon) your problem is solved
    the difference between weighing your food and measuring in cups can be hundreds a day! Look at the short video

    if you can't afford food, why are you buying protein shakes??
    eat a tin of tuna. Much cheaper, less calories, similar proteins.
    if you're stressing about gaining weight, just eat less!

    The log says to eat 1,430 a day. Which I mostly never make it to that! I'm always way under or just about there. So today's for instance I have 800 more to go to reach 1,430 and I go to bed normally by 10pm so I'm all done for the day with eating. I couldn't even imagine putting anything else in my stomach. Because I eat so small my stomach doesn't have room to make it to 1430 calories.

    I bought the shakes because they were only .50 a piece. Tuna does sound good to add to the days but isn't too much tuna bad for you? Mercury levels.

    While other family members stay thin healthy having dads genes.. I have moms genes. If I ate say one thing, "bad" it's ten times worse on my body then it is my other Siblings. They eat what they want everyday all day long and still thin. Me, I ate one thing and you can tell I ate one thing. Genetics I got my moms.

    Not true. Excuses. Eat a calorie deficit.
