    Are you sure your logging is accurate? There are a lot of errors in the database.

    Also a lot of us are bad at eyeballing portions as are most "experts" so sometimes a food scale helps.

    3 weeks weight (fat) loss can easily be masked by (water) weight fluctuations. Are you logging correctly?

    Go look at your other thread. Your calories on face value or not wrong, probably a little low. But your logging needs to be accurate. Open your diary and we can help more.

    All calculators for calorie needs are based on estimates. Yours may be off or it may not be. If you want to set a custom calorie goal, then do it. But what makes you think so and how much lower do you want to set it?

    All these peeps who complain about not losing weight never have open diaries. Coincidence?

    No, not a coincidence.

    My diary is locked with a key just for fun.
