I been doing challenges now for over 8 weeks and my weight keeps going up and down . I have lowered my carbs and eat more protein/shakes . The 10000/15000 steps might include for instance the other day at an extreme i was in the gym for 2 hours getting 13000 steps running/cross trainer i been eating around 1500 1700 cals I'm 5-10 183lb /185lb varies aged 40. I dont eat my exercise steps on mfp from fitbit that are automatically linked. I have dropped cals to 1200 today but last time i did this i felt light headed and exhausted? Wot am i doing wrong i weigh ny food and have had no alchol in 2 weeks as before i thought it was this wuth cheat weekends but i havent done this since only had cheat meal the weekend gone ?

    Maybe you are eating too little calories? What is yout TDEE and how much do you burn on average per day?

    Try eating lighter or smaller meals and adding snacks in between. I like almonds the best and it gets me past that shakey time mid morning when I feel light headed. I also eat a big breakfast of oatmeal, fruit & nuts after my early morning run.
