Losing Weight/Building Muscle HELP!

Hey thanks for reading!

So here’s my goals and issues. I’d like to continue to gain Muscle while trimming some body fat. My BMR is approx. 1,670 Calories. With my activity levels (workout around 1 hour daily, 6 days a week), I read and calculated that I’d need around 2,600 Calories giver take. MyFitnessPal tells me to lose weight I need to consume 1,900 Calories (or less I guess).

The problem? Well, I’ve been tracking my normal diet the past couple weeks and it seems most days I’m consuming 1,300-1,800 Calories on average. I’ve been eating this way for a while. So if I’m exercising regularly, if my normal diet is quite a low amount of calories, why on earth am I not losing body fat?! Unless I’m miss calculating my food portions when inputting them in the app, but even then I doubt I’m THAT many calories off. I don’t know.

It’s worth noting that I eat pretty clean. I haven’t ate junk food in a while (as in years). The worst things I eat that could be considered junk food is Raisins (which when I have them I only have 2-3 mini snack boxes which is like 100 Calories combined). Or Crispy Minis which are flavoured Rice Chips. The worst thing in those is probably the sodium to be honest.

Besides that my diet usually consists of plain Oatmeal with a bit of Splenda every morning for breakfast. Lunches include Tuna with maybe a Tablespoon of Miracle Whip just for flavour and to moisten it (the Miracle Whip is probably the worst thing in my diet actually haha). Or I’ll have Eggs, sometimes scrambled, sometimes on whole wheat wraps or whole wheat bread. I need to find more variety for lunches to be honest. Sometimes it may be left overs from the supper from the night before. Which leads me into my typical supper meals which includes: Trout seasoned with Cajun spice and pepper, or Chicken cooked in some olive oil and garlic with either 1 Cup of Basimati White Rice OR I put them on whole wheat wraps with a bit of Ranch dressing and lettuce. Not often but sometimes I’ll have mashed potatoes with it and occasionally meat pie but that’s not very often. Sometimes I’ll have chicken stew. Sometimes I’ll have beef stew. And a few times a week I’ll make a smoothie with 0% Greek Yogurt, Milk, Strawberries, Blueberries, Kale, Honey, and Avocado.

That’s pretty much my diet. I’ll have Turkey a couple times a year too. So I have no idea what I’m doing wrong! I’m gaining Muscle somehow thankfully haha But maybe not as optimally as I could! And I’m strangely not losing any body fat. Any thoughts or ideas would be very appreciated

Thanks and sorry for the wall of text! I wanted to be thorough haha
