Need some help. My weight is 215, 5'8, I'm set to intake 1500 calories a week, I have a desk job, and my one activity is a orange theory class I take 4 times a week where I burn on average 800-900 calories. I stick to the 1500 calories, drink 120oz of watch and I can't seem to lose weight. It was suggested to be that I'm not taking in enough calories. Does any know how many calories I should be taking? Am I in the right zone

    If you're not losing weight I can guarantee it's not because you're "not taking in enough calories". Are you weighing all your food and using gram entries to track your intake? Are you eating back all your exercise calories or staying at 1500 every day? How long have you stalled? More than a couple weeks?

    Yes I'm weighing all my foods, staying at 1500 and not eating my calories back. Stalled about 2 weeks.

    Can you share your food diary?

    I'll see if I can enable the sharing.
