Losing weight is from a caloric deficit. Gaining muscle requires adequate protein and progressive overload (weights increasing). You may be able to see season newbie gains.

Coffee. Water. On nutrition amino energy. Sometimes tea or Coke zero.

Use tdee or mfp. These are just calculations so you need to see how your body responds. But, yes, eat more. I eat 300 less than you but weigh 120 pounds less than you. I'm definitely a bit hungry through the day. I entered my stats in mfp and have been eating my exercise calories and using a food scale. I've been…

Are you using a food scale?
-
What about 3 days of lifting (full body) and 3 days of cardio? Are you using a food scale? Eating only to hunger is a double edged sword as that's how we got here.
-
Heavy hip thrusts helped my deads out too. OP, I got back into lifting after hiking a lot and seeing some nice changes in my butt. Yay!
-
Yep, me too girl! The key is weighing out my food and tracking it.
-
Find out what works for you and then do it. A good idea would also look into if that meal would ever hold you over regardless of timing. Personally, plain oats at any time of day would hold me over for... about 10 seconds. I have to eat breakfast but I always choose a meal with lots of protein, carbs and fats because that…

Good job! I'd add anywhere from 1-5 minutes per session. I think starting off slower is better for you- you have a smaller chance of getting injured!
-
Yep, I'm usually pushing that, or more. But I have 3 kids. No also. Have to drive 40 miles for a Walmart or Kroger affiliate.

+1 and weigh foods. Make sure you are eating enough protein. Eat enough (follow mfp as it was designed) Giving up caffeine doesn't affect metabolism. Weight training will only help it.
-
The first step is using a food scale and logging accurately. You *should* be able to eat more. Fill out mfp accurately and go with that. Keep detailed records. After a few months you could seek outside help.
-
Depending on where it is, if you cover it, don't touch it and wash your hands, it may be okay to go.
-
Yes, I've found that I do better having friends on here. Some people I do remove if they don't help me reach my goals.
-
Yes, you will. Calories determine if you lose, gain or maintain. In order to hit most macro and micros, a balanced diet without too big of a deficit is suggested.

I weigh daily and use a trend app. I used to weigh weekly and if it was a good weigh in I would be in a good mood. If not, I was beastly. This change isn't just from weighing daily, I did a lot of work to love myself/reduce the importance of the scale. But weighing daily has made the weigh in just another data entry. Log…

Ask your doctor
-
Are you eating enough? If you need more protein, add some more. Do you need to eat more often?
-
Maybe start with half and keep track of your losses. If you are losing faster than what mfp has you set for, eat a little more. And the opposite is true too.
-
I prelog a few days in advance. I set up my food diary based on my meal times so I eat What I planned at that time and move through the day like that.
-
Op, how are you measuring your food? Estimating? Measuring cups? Using food scale is the most accurate. Get one.
-
I drink the amino energy daily simply because it takes amazing and has caffeine.
-
Sounds like a "friend" you need to say "forget you" to...
-
I agree with the above. But I think the body shrinking is more important than the scale going down.
