I think you're getting a bit caught up in semantics here. Yes, a calorie deficit is an overall restriction, but that doesn't mean that there isn't plentiful choice within that framework.

Why has your instructor arrived at 2500 calories? I also second the suggestion of opening your diary. Would just make it easier to get more accurate advice.

Sounds wonky! I would hit up Amazon for a new scale :)

Good advice! The scale is just a tool to track progress - it isn't a defining factor in overall body composition, and certainly not the only tool. I used to rely solely on weekly progress pictures because the scale weight was frustrating for me and I fixated on it.

Can I ask what your dieting history is? Just a general idea would be helpful.

I weigh daily. But if the lack of change on the scale is demotivating then do tape measurements instead, or just do a weekly weigh in. @StaciMarie1974 gave some good advice, but just to add - if you are being consistent and accurate in your tracking, then I would look at recalculating your intake. Without seeing your log,…
