can you take a look at my food diary and give me some sugges

I would say more protein, less fat, and less sugar. You'd be surprised how much sugar is in everything. I do a diet consisting of 40% carbs, 40% protein, and 20% fat and it's been working good.

I also eat my exercise calories back, this seems to help too. Plus plenty of water to keep everything moving.

I looked at the last few days and it seems like you are chonically eating too little. I don't know what your goals are set at but if you eat the amount that mpf tells you to, you should get the results you are looking for. I had mine set at one pound a week, ate the amount they told me to, and lost one pound a week like clockwork. Your body needs to eat! It's not always good to eat less, especially if you are practically always under around 1200 calories. Unlike in modern society, in past centuries the problem with humans was we didn't have enough to eat on a consistent basis, so our bodies have evolved to survive during times of famine. If you aren't eating enough, your body may misinterpret what you are doing and start conserving your calories.... in effect, rebelling against you.

(Note: I just realized you said you're in maintenance, but regardless the point is the same: if you eat what mpf tells you to, you should be okay.)

I personally think that you are not eating enough and your body is going into "starvation mode" and saving all your calories. I look back a week on your diary and you have anywhere from 800-1000 calories remaining at the end of the day. Thats too much!! I hit a plateau myself and was given the advice to "eat more to lose more" and it worked! I know it sounds crazy, but your body really does need the calories to help you lose weight. Try to eat AT LEAST 1400-1500 calories a day, especially when you are working out. Best of luck!

Aside from not eating enough, other factors that you may not have considered include:
1) Being a female, your weight and body will fluctuate, at least a little, during different phases of your monthly cycle.
2) You may not be weighing yourself at the same time of day in relation to the food you either have or haven’t consumed.
3) Stress levels can affect weight gain/ loss. Are you perhaps weighing yourself on a stressful Friday morning after a week of intense studying / cramming or your boss making you stay late every night this week, then comparing your results with a peaceful Sunday morning after a fun weekend and a full night’s sleep?

Honestly you may be fluctuating based off of your diet/ exercise routine, but I would be curious if you were to weigh yourself every Sunday morning before breakfast and compare it with the previous month’s corresponding week in relation to your monthly cycle and see if there truly is a significant amount of weight fluctuation. Its just some food for thought. : )

you're usually under 1200 calories and your daily calorie goal is around 2000....so that might be one of the problems....

good luck!
