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…

Everything I consume is either weighed by digital scale, or measuring cup

Awesome, just went and bought almonds yesterday too! Have 11 1ounce sandwich bags, also that avacado idea sounds amazing.

More cups of veggies? Skip the nonfat yogurt (just bought s ton) more protein in lunch?

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.
