    So if you are 5'11" then you are close to a healthy weight. Could set MFP to 0.5-1 pound loss per week. As far as macros improving composition since it sounds like you do better with higher protein then set to 0.8g/pound body weight, fat 0.4g/pound body weight and the rest carbs.

    How are you getting your exercise calorie estimates? HRM?

    Don't use it for weight training. Only effective for cardio. Even still I would only eat back 1/4-1/2 of the calories burned.

    Maybe ta the new trainers he made me buy for running? It has insoles so that could be partly the reason.

    This is almost certainly it. Your height can be impacted by shoes. You will want to base your weight goal on your actual height -- measure yourself without the shoes on.

    I know it's a lot, but it's more plausible than someone growing three inches in their late 30s.

    I've seen some running shoes that have very thick soles.

    You're not supposed to have shoes on when your height is measured.
