I do HIIT 5 days a week and according to my Apple Watch I burn 2100 to 2500 calories a day. I rarely eat 1500 calories. I thought it was calories in calories out. What’s my problem?

    Are you saying you don't lose weight? Because you don't actually say what your problem is...

    True HIIT 5 days a week? More like interval training, but as far as your 'problem as in weight loss, need to elaborate more.

    Taking a wild guess at what you are asking.

    MFP has you at 1500 cals to lose a certain amount of weight.

    Eat all those calories- what you like, when you like and work towards meeting your nutrition goals.

    To make sure you are accurate use a food scale for all foods, yes even single serving packages.

    Make sure you are using accurate entries. The entry on the package of food should match the MFP entry.
    For single foods, grains, meat, fish, veg, use food with the info from the USDA.
    Use grams for all solids, not cups and spoons- they are for liquids, which you should also measure.

    I don't use a Fitbit, but they can over or under estimate.
    If, once you have your food logging in order, you are still not losing at the expected rate, drop your Fitbit added calories by 25% for a month and see how that works.

    Cheers, h.

    I just follow a simple *snip* for my weight loss goals. And I must say that it worked wonders. I am less stressed now and do not feel like quoting every now and then.

    Di you have some tips for giving up spam, @moumallick6 ? Coz spam... Spam sucks.

    oh, you mean weight loss woes....

    you're not measuring accurately probably and so eating more than you think and burning less than you think.

    and/or you're being impatient.

    Inaccuracy: food, exercise, typing.

    this. based on your food diary, you don't appear to be weighing your food - start there.

    I think one problem is you need to strengthen your communication skills. It's not really a "wow" though.
    That calorie burn sounds suspiciously high btw.

    Sorry I asked! I guess I’ll just figure it out on my own. I was on this blog one other time and now I know why I haven’t been back.

    It's a shame you think that, you've got plenty of good advice... good luck!
