I'm eating 5+ "meals" a day to keep the metabolism working, and am going to increase calorie intake to 2000 at least

Not really worried about gaining muscle, if I do I do, I have enough as is trying to maintain what I already have while losing the weight. Protein goal is between 110-130 a day.

I feel great, more active, a little tired in the mornings but normal case for insomnia, 10-15 min walk recharges the batteries and I'm good to go.

Guess this explains why fitbit said total calories last week were -7000 :-/, MFP says today I have 800 calories left for my 1600 calorie goal, Fitbit says 1,400 based on activity, I always try burning 3100 calories a day, pic included, friday I didnt wear it 75% of the day. I guess I'll go by fitbits calories left section…

Nope, no diet foods, just smaller portions more frequently. I'll post a few snapshots of what my day is today. But I'm hitting my protein goals, under on carbs and fats over my Vitamin A.

Sounds normal, like what I was eating before I started last week yet saw no real loss.

Ok so I did the MFP goals and it said 2,330 daily to lose 2 pounds a week.

The 1,200 limit is about when I feel full. 1,325 was calculated by fitbit as "Hardest" producing a 1,000 deficit, 1,625 being a 750 cal deficit. So I have been aiming for an in between.

I put a photo up of my last week of totals, it ranges from 1200, to almost 1,600 as recommended by fitbit for a 750 cal deficit, for 1,000 cal deficit it says 1,335 a day. I just don't want a plateau effect, I happy with arms and legs its the (in my eyes) chubby looking stomach.

Totals for the past week

in New to the diet thing, am I doing it right? Comment by Vectris January 2016
Fitbit calculated 1,625 daily for a 750 calorie deficit, 1,325 for 1000. So I input 1,600 to MFP, problem is I feel full by the end of the day. I'll post a pic of my last week totals. If I can

Even with consistent weight training?

Food scale and measuring cup has been my best friend, doing it for a week so far, though Sundays I allow more calories.
