@wmd1979 full agree
@HBMairi also timing of meals may help since you are doing lot of excercise. (esp. Timing of complex carbs) but without knowing and analysing you exact daily routine and timing(meals excercise.. Past and current) is hard to make any conclusion. Dont listen to cheap advices.

Except meal timing doesn't really apply here, as it's not going to affect whether or not the OP loses weight.



Meal timing isn't the reason the OP isn't seeing the scale move. Also, OP, your said your diary was public but it isn't. Logging errors are quite easy to make even though it's not the intention. I see that you've written you are meticulous about weighing, giving an example of chicken, potatoes, and brussels sprouts; did you weigh those items raw or cooked? Little things like that can make a difference in calories.

@Maxematics pls read carefully what i have written (may help, need to be analysed, not enought info) I know this picture well. She does everything from it, she s under (i guess) huge kcal def for longer time... adjusting kcal(adding) and/or better timing MAY help under some circumstances. My english is weak for deeper explanation). You dont know the reason and source of stagnation but you are sure what will not help. Good. 👍

I did read carefully and I don't think your English is weak at all; I understand you perfectly. What I'm saying is that with regard to the issue the poster is having, meal timing isn't relevant. The majority of the time when someone is saying they've been eating at a deficit and the scale hasn't moved, the issue lies in their CI or CO.

With CI it's usually underestimating food intake by improper portion sizing, picking bad database entries, or forgetting to log the additional things like oils/condiments, etc. with CO it's usually overestimating of exercise calories, setting their activity level too high in comparison to reality, or having too high of an activity level and adding exercise calories on top of that.

Since the OP stated they only eat 1270 calories and do not eat exercise calories back, I'm disregarding CO being the error (for now). Next, since 1270 calories gross is already a small amount and the OP does exercise, that means they'd be netting even less than 1270 calories. Unless someone has a severe medical condition, they would not maintain their weight on 1270 calories, especially at OP's current weight. She should have seen a loss by now, even with a new exercise routine, water weight, etc. This is what makes me more "sure" the issue is CI. Can I say with 100% certainty that the issue lies within the OP's diary? Of course not. Is it the most likely answer though? Yes.

It's funny how you said you fully agreed with wmd1979 when I'm saying pretty much the exact same thing and your additional advice about meal timing is conflicting with his advice as well.
