First, your numbers all look off. 2 eggs are only 100 cals... and bacon... those should be up around 200-400 mark... also the chicken... and there is a lot more fat in these items then your diary shows as well. That is a LOT of food. I could not eat that amount of food and lose and I am quite active. I would certainly gain weight. That's way too many cals for you at your size.

that's not necessarily true. My large eggs are 70 cal a piece and my bacon is 60-90cal for 14g (two to three strips) depending on the brand.

mines the same..... and i weigh everything by the gram. ive never had a single egg over 80 calories. i think the last bacon i had came in around 40 cals for the slice? something like that.

Well, all I know is, that I am using the right numbers and I am losing weight. 2 eggs were almost 200 and 3 strips of (thick cut) bacon were around 200... etc.

I don't doubt that. I did too and hit my goal and am working on recomp. And I agree that OP needs to make sure her logging is tight. There's just a wide variety of food brands and similar types that it's difficult to tell something is off at a quick glance. Especially since there are people from different countries here. I know Canadians and Brits often say bacon and mean back bacon which is about 200+ a slice while Americans bacon is a different cut all together with fewer calories.

Both taste awesome though!
