in Health and Weight Loss
Does anyone know why am gaining weight instead of losing it, I roughly burn around 600kl per visit. Between cardio and weights, my body shop isn't even changing! I've now been at the gym for 2 months. Can anyone help?

    How many calories are you eating per day? Weight loss happens mainly in the kitchen.

    Am about 1300 a day, I walk around 12000 steps a day, along with what I do in the gym which can be the same amount. I used to use the gym last year and stopped the weight fell off then, but now it doesn't seem to want to move and my diet is probably more healthier than last year

    You're either overestimating your burn or underestimating your intake.

    This entirely. How accurate is your logging? Do you weigh everything in ounces or grams? Do you use liquid measurements for all caloric liquids?

    You aren't weighing and accurately logging all your food and drink

    You are eating in surplus

    You aren't burning as much as you think

    It's quite common

    Weighing is key! Especially with carbs (even wholewheat)
    We need to have a deficit of 500 calories per day for 7 whole days to lose 1 pound on the scales.
    Calculate your BMR (basic metabolic rate) for your weight and lose 500 cals per day

    Not especially with carbs ...all food

    BMR is irrelevant ...it's her TDEE she needs but easier to take MFP value and eat back half the exercise

    You used BMR so I assume you know that stands for basal metabolic rate which is the level of calories your body would use up if you were in a coma

    TDEE is total daily energy expenditure = BMR + activity level + purposeful exercise

    MFP is My fitness pal

    Please is a common word most people use when asking others to give them information

    Not eating enough and too routine are not relevant I'm afraid

    if this all you are eating, it's not enough at all. you need to balance all food groups. you aren't showing any protein in breakfast and no veggies. you aren't even healthy fats. if you do not eat enough for your workouts, your body is going to fight you every step of the way. it won't know what to burn, where to take it for the burn. you aren't eating a balanced diet to have stored nutrients for workouts.

    it is relevant if you don't eat enough and become too routine. your body gets use to the way you do things. you almost always have to change things up some. you have to eat enough of all food groups for you body to function properly.

    I have never seen any science that said that muscle confusion or dietary confusion actually worked. Can you pass along some sources? I'd love to read some studies that say this because it would change my entire world view on this topic.
