Just started counting and I'm putting on weight!?

After being on the birth control pill and a trip across Europe, I put on a couple of kilos.
I had been eating healthy and exercising for around 4 to 5 weeks afterwards, stopped the pill, and didn't lose a single pound, so I decided last week to calorie count...
I have been counting to about 1400 calories and have been exercising a few times a week but now I am putting ON WEIGHT! Ive put on a kilo since I started
I have just had my hormones tested and the doctor wants me to go and get another one (didn't say why).... What is going on here??
It's so discouraging

Yeah it's strange though because I have been exercising for weeks now - even before I started counting calories. The scales dont go down they only go up. I hope it is water retention0
-
Are you using a food scale?0
-
Im measuring things yes0
-
-
A mixture of both, I'm entering things pretty accurately... But even if they were off slightly theres no way im eating enough to be putting weight ON0
-
When i changed my workout regime and diet i gained about 3-4 lbs before i started losing again. Believe it was from increase in exercise and my body making adjustments to get used to the change. It balanced out after a week or so0

Ohh okay that gives me hope

My big tip to you is get a food scale and weigh all solids that way you will know exactly how many calories you are eating. You'll thank my later 0

Sweetie, wait to hear what your Dr. has to say. I pray all is well.0 -

It could be that you are eating more calories now than you did before you counted? You may think you are low cal but maybe you were lower calorie before.
Or what you are eating now is low cal but too hard for your body to break down so you are holding on to the food and putting on weight.
Compare a typical old diet day with your new diet and see if maybe you didn't make the best modifications for you.0 -
You've only been counting calories for a week - give it time. I can fluctuate 5 lbs in a single day.0

For example, eating carbs or red meat is really hard for me to break down. So I have to eat salads with light dressings or juice. Or broth soups. If I have a turkey sub on wheat and say bacon egg cheese bowl even though that's a relatively low cal day, it's still not going to result in a loss for me. I'm just giving you examples. Does that make sense?0 -

No, not at all. Your body uses calories in to determine how much weight you lose/gain. It doesn't matter where they come from.0 -

That's not true for everyone. How can you say that you KNOW that everyone and every body processes the same? You can't. You are assuming. What works for some doesn't work for others.

Lol and you're a proven scientist? I doubt it. Because science would also tell you that there are certain medical conditions where the norm for many doesn't apply. But you didn't know that because you're not a scientist1 -

No sweetie. I'm not a scientist but I still know that gravity exists, even if I can't explain to you exactly how it works. No matter what the medical condition it's still calories in versus calories out. A medical condition might affect the calories out portion, but the equation still applies.

Nope honey...I know you're wrong again. Do some research and don't assume and then you will see you don't know what you are talking about.
I have a dietician, doctor, food scale, trainer, and work out 5-6 times a week. I eat like a bird. Doesn't change the scale. Doctors with degrees see that.
You are misinformed. Glad you learned about Gravity but you are clearly not fully informed about weight loss.

If this is true for you, you are one in a million. This is not the norm and your advice should not be applied to anyone else because 99.9% of people don't have your special medical condition.

Doctors with degrees told you that you were an exception to how energy works for everyone else? What condition is that exactly?

I originally only responded to you because I didn't realize you were not the original poster. She was asking for help initially so I gave her another option. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. In any event, PCOS is a medical condition that plagues many women and if she has that, these women face the struggle im filling the original poster on.0 -

Doctors agree that people with PCOS don't process carbs and sugar like the "average" person. Accordingly it throws your hormones and body off if you eat them. Maybe the average person can get away with eating all carbs and sugar and still losing but someone with PCOS it causes havoc. Even if you only ate 1000 calories for the day and completed a hardcore workout. You should research it before you tell people that have spent THOUSANDS of dollars researching it. Living it. Working with educated professionals. It's ENTIRELY possible that you have a limited understanding of how the body works. There always exceptions to a rule.0 -
Original poster, I hope you get that scale to move. If you find it still does not, shoot me a message. I'd love to fill you in. There are also many support groups on here for people that struggle with this.0
