    You need to open your diary to the public, just briefly.

    Just wait til you get your food scale, start weighing everything.... Do that consistently for a few weeks, sticking to you calorie goal and then report back.

    If you're not losing weight over the longvterm, you're eating too much to lose weight.

    It doesn't matter one bit how much you think you are eating. What matters are results. Your results show no weight loss iver the long term. Therefore you are eating too much to lose. Does matter if your math shows 1100 calories or 11,000 calories.

    Every day is exactly the same. The food scale will be eye-opening. Do let us know.

    You've not been logging long, you miss random days (more than just one per week). You aren't weighing, but that has been addressed already and getting a food scale will help.

    Have you entered all of your smoothie ingredients in to the recipe builder to determine the calories? Or is that a random entry for "smoothie"? What about "crock pot chicken"?

    You said you get fat from beef, but there's no entries for beef in your log.?

    even if everything in the smoothie is accounted for not weighing it Im guaranteeing that the calories are higher than you think in it.when you make a recipe it helps to weigh everything you put in it and log accordingly. a medium onion? that could be any size or calories,even though it wouldnt be a lot it still counts. chicken thighs are higher in fat than chicken breast but fat is not a bad thing so its going to have a bit more calories as well and not weighing it its going to be more than you think. trust me Ive had chicken breast that said they were 4oz(112-113g) and they ended up being more like 6oz.

    it will be more accurate just make sure you use the proper entries as well. but weighing is more accurate than estimating or using cups

    It is possible your gaining weight because you aren’t enough enough, drinking enough. Your body will fight for every calorie and retain water if you aren’t eating enough. The other alternative as many said is that you are eating more than you think. Use n activity tracker and my fitness pal together. Know how much you’re really burning with how much your truly eating. It will paint a more accurate portrait of what you’re really doing

    its not due to not eating or drinking enough. thats an old myth.your body wont fight for calories it will use body fat,lean mass,muscle,etc for energy if you arent getting enough calories. youd still lose weigh
