Day-to-day fluctuations became larger, but my weight still hovered around the same base number.

It might be that you are truly in a plateau. If that is the case, then keep eating at a small deficit and trust that you will eventually experience a whoosh. Since you have a pretty good idea of what your RMR is and you track your food in the most accurate method possible, then you should be able to keep at a deficit even if you don't see the loss right away.
10,000 in one day? I'm calling that nonsense. You could literally eat two gallons of ice cream and still not have eaten 10,000 calories. You could eat a restaurant meal six times and not have 10,000 calories. Even Tour de France riders who are on a mountain stage aren't consuming that many calories. It seems to me that you have just demonstrated that your problem was inaccurate calorie counting, not some "true plateau" while waiting for a "swoosh".
A fast food combo easily can hit 2k, throw in a second burger and you are hitting 3k

It takes significantly more energy to digest protein than carbs/fat which means calories will be burnt in the process. I think protein is somewhere around 20-30% of the content and carbs 7% fats are like 3%.
Study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6476790
Also the cost of gluconeogenesis, converting Proteins to energy for use costs around 33% of the energy it provides. The body is not perfect either and will use a lot of the amino acids from the protein for repairing muscle damage which is why lifting weights + high protein % of your diet provides a very rapid weight loss since a lot of it won't even be subjected to gluconeogenesis in the first place.
Study: http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/90/3/519.full
Protein is also really the only nutrient we need(along with vitamins/minerals of course) but it's not something that tastes good in general. The body loves carbs/fats since they easily gives us energy and provides a sort of high. So yes you will lose weight faster with a higher protein diet assuming the calories are the same.

You seem fairly adamant about your calorie tracking so let's assume that's not the issue. Do you take cheat days? If yes how often? How often do you eat food you did not prepare yourself (restaurants, family meals, etc)? The last thing I can suggest is to open your diary. If you eat a lot of pre-packaged foods that could be an issue even if you track them. Many foods simply lie on the label, something to the effect of 1 package (100g) = 200 calories so you just eat the whole package and log it. Thing is, if you weighed the contents of the package it's more than the 100 grams it claims to be. Other foods are simply just wrong about their calorie counts. If that too isn't the problem then a 2 week diet break (eating maintenance) might be what's needed here.MaineMom76 wrote: »

On true cheat days, I've consumed way more than that even. It isn't as hard for some of us who have an insatiable appetite. Consider that a lot of restaurant pizzas are around 3K, more or less, just by themselves. And that is only 1 pizza. If I'm eating as much as I want, you think I'm only going to eat 1? No, I'll eat some cheese-sticks too and a cinnastix 'pizza' for dessert. There is half of the calories just for dinner.6 -
Congrats on having a higher metabolism (meaning just the base calorie burn daily) then expected for a gal your age, height, weight.
Means you may have more LBM than the average.
Of course it may be right on correct for an estimated RMR based on bodyfat %, or could even be lower than expected for that estimate.
Outside of that tested RMR figure - the other figures (TDEE, eating level) are no different than any other site starting with BMR and trying to estimate, based usually on your best guess of activity level.
But one of the first things your body does when it doesn't like the eating level to burn level and needs to start adapting - is slow you down in your daily burn, to conserve calories that the RMR functions need.
So that may have happened.
So while your RMR is better than expected, your TDEE could be much lower than expected.
Nothing like burning say 300 calories in a hard workout, and your body slows you down by 400 calories that day to compensate by moving a whole lot less.
Something to examine.
And then that logging then.
Be accurate with food logging as most have commented on, and then don't give the body a reason to keep adapting, especially since it sounds like body is under stress already.6 -

OP, six weeks is a decent time interval to assess. How are you weighing yourself? Are you using a trending app or rolling average? IMHO, determining my body weight is the least precise part of the equation. Normal fluctuations can mask a slow rate of loss. If you have TOM, a rolling average of the number of days in your cycle would be window through hormone induced fluctuation, but still not perfect.
ETA: all good points from vintagefeline, esp regarding measurements.2 -
This is a very good point. Weighing daily and logging it into something like trendweight.com could shed a lot of light on what's really happening. Many times a "stall" is really 0.5 or 0.25 lbs a week loss that is being hidden by fluctuations.OP, six weeks is a decent time interval to assess. How are you weighing yourself?

Sounds to me like you have been eating more than 1,600 calories. And she tested your RMR (1,800) so the recommendation she gave was based on a calorie deficit of your TDEE (rmr + daily activity and exercise). This is why she said "based on your exercise level".
I am going to say as someone who also has thyroid issues (hypo) that the proof is in the pudding. If you were using less energy as a result of your thyroid hormone levels that would have been reflected in this study.
if you've been staying relatively the same level of activity during this time it would seem the only variable that could be off is your intake. If you haven't lost weight in 6 weeks it seems to me you've been eating around your maintenance calories.
I saw lower your calories by a hundred every week until you start losing weight. You'll probably find that you were overeating and tracking inaccurately. You should have absolutely no issues losing weight at your current body size (even with a thyroid problem).3 -

As to the accuracy of the machine: I have no idea. Will trust you've done your research there.
As to eating 1600 without results: how accurate was the 1600, and for how long did you eat at 1600 without weight loss. And was it no loss, or just not as much as you expected?
Over the course of 1 1/2 months, I haven't lost anything.
Her claim was that I'm eating not only below my TDEE but below my RMR, and apparently that's why I wasn't losing, but that also doesn't make sense to me.
Answer above about the accuracy of my calorie intake.
Keep in mind all the numbers are guessimations at best and that CICO is just one factor in weight loss/gains. What is your current Vitamin D level? What is your current CRP (C-Reactive Protein) test results?
Some lose weight quickly and some do not when CICO's are equal. There are reasons for that but the why's are not simple to learn.2 -

Actually, its more like 2,400 for a deep dish pizza. I can believe you might eat a whole pizza and some other stuff to go with it. What I don't believe is that you would eat that much more than three times over in one day. There's a limit to how much you can stuff yourself before you make yourself sick. If you aren't doing something to get your blood pumping, that food is just going to sit in your gut or come back out the way it went in.1 -

I'm not saying i believe said poster's account of events as it wasn't monitored... but...
here's some information on overfeeding as well as someone who tests their RMR, body fat %, and more before and after overfeeding.

Yeah no. Eating too little does NOT cause one to not lose weight. Completely daft. My guess is that her measurement was incorrect. Personally, I think it's better to find your own number, one that works for you.6 -

Hey some of us did not become obese by only over eating by 100 calories a day.
It is my view on 10,000 calorie days many of them will just ride out the backdoor.2 -

Nope. The body requires significantly more energy to digest the volume of food required to reach 10,000 calories. RMR is raised, body temp is raised, heart rate and blood sugar levels are raised, etc.
