  "Better" doesn't tell us much. What's your daily calorie goal?

  Getting better nutrition doesn't necessarily mean you're in a calorie deficit. I eat very healthfully and have gained weight doing so...'cuz too many calories.

  There are mistakes that people commonly make that cause them to not lose weight that we might be able to spot if you change your Diary Sharing settings to Public: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings
