Fatty By Air

My guess is you're slowing your metabolism down and eating a combination of the wrong foods. I was/am doing the same thing, high on the carbs, low on the proteins, and fats. I switched these macros around, high on the protein, middle on the fats, and the lowest in the carbs. I started losing. It's been so hot here, and lots of stress, so I'm not feeling like eating much either but was seeing the scale go up, up, and up. I was also drinking a lot of water, and working out daily (no breaks) so water retention was through the roof. I'm currently at the tail end of a four/five-day hiatus, went swimming today, and I feel like human excrement. Here's to making better choices tomorrow.

My guess is that he is eating more than he thinks - unless it is just a short term thing in which case it is just understanding fluctuations

But none of us can know or help without an open diary to confirm what is happening.

Hello everyone
Facing wired problem
I am not eating much, still gaining weight
I think I am gaining weight by air

do you weigh every piece of food you eat in grams including cooking oil, salad dressing and condiments? do you then find accurate database listings for them, checking each against the manufacturer for portion weight and calories so to be fairly sure you're logging your calories accurately?

if not, unless you eat only pre-packaged, single serving foods, chances are you don't know how many calories you're eating.

How often are you eating food made by other people? When you do, do you really know the nutritional value or the quantity in weight of the food consumed? I'm not saying you MUST make all your own food from scratch, but the more involved you can be in the process, you more accurate your logging can be.

Other than that, over what stretch of time have you tried to track calories? And over what stretch of time have you noticed an increase on the scale? If its been only a few days or even a few pounds up in less than a month, you're more than likely experiencing water weight fluctuation. Body fat is lost or gained over an extended period of time. Not a few days.
