How long have you been at 1850? if it’s been less than a month you need to give it a little more time. If still no loss then your weekly calories are not allowing you to lose fat.

Some people have great luck with it. The bottom line with any diet is you need to take in fewer calories every week consistently than you burn if you want to lose fat, the carnivore diet is no different. It really comes down to eating in a way that you can stick to permanently. I know friends that love carnivore.

Any reported calorie amount is dependent on counting and tracking accuracy

Volume, intensity and programming will dictate whether 6 days is excessive.

Regardless of age, fat loss will be a product of a consistent weekly calorie deficit over time. You need to research where your calorie amount needs to be for your current situation. Start there and after a month review your progress or lack of it and adjust your weekly calorie amount at that time if necessary.

Abs are like any other exercise they’re gonna be difficult to build unless you’re in a caloric surplus. If you simply want to expose your abdominals, provided they’re already fairly developed then you just diet down, when you diet down, you can’t really lose fat just at your abs, you’re gonna lose it wherever your body…

A month and no loss means your weekly calories are keeping you at what is called maintenance. In order to lose fat you’re gonna need to lower your calories every week, there is about 3500 cal in 1 pound so that means every day of the week you need to lower your calories by 500, if you want to lose slower, just don’t drop…

Going back to the argument of whether fasting while you sleep is good or not I will say the one benefit I did find of that when I’m trying to lose fat is that if you’re gonna be hungry, be hungry when you’re asleep, I learned that from the late Greg Plitt.

no.

someone that heavy would probably have a TDEE of over 3000 cal a day so 1200 cal deficit would still keep them consuming over 1200 cal every day

That’s a calorie deficit of almost 1200 cal every day for a month which unless you were extremely overweight or obese that’s probably not going to be realistic. You may lose a decent amount of water weight if you cut out a lot of processed carbs.

Your overall weekly calories determine what your weight will do not meal timing. It’s perfectly fine to eat late at night if your overall calories for the week are where they need to be. Your body rebuilds itself while you sleep so having food before you go to sleep is not really a bad thing.

if the loss stopped all of a sudden it may just be holding water but if you’ve been that way for a month or more, you’re at maintenance calories now you’re gonna need to lower them. After losing weight, especially close to 40 pounds your maintenance calories are going to be lower. An easy way to illustrate that is to put…

Regardless of how you try to calculate things with any app, those are gonna be strictly starting points. You need to stick with those calories for a month and review the progress or lack of progress at that time and make any necessary adjustments. Anecdotal experience from other people is basically useless because…

if there’s no loss in four weeks, it’s not a matter of eating too few calories. It’s a matter of eating too many calories.

fasting only works if it causes you to have a weekly calorie deficit, fasting itself doesn’t really cause fat loss

One of the biggest reasons people don’t lose weight with this app is because they eat back their exercise calories and use those calories that they’re telling you were burned and those are going to be potentially inaccurate. You can eat back calories do whatever you want then after about 4 to 6 weeks of doing that you’re…

you could eat only carbs and still lose weight if you’re in a consistent weekly calorie deficit. Macros can be a personal preference for each person depending on what their goals are and how those macros make them feel during the day. Fat loss will always be about being in a consistent calorie deficit over time

How tall are you

If you've been at this calorie amount for less than four weeks You've got to give it some time. If at that point, you still haven't lost then your weekly calorie amount is too high and you're gonna have to lower it

Meat will lose around 20% of his weight when it’s cooked on average. So it cooked meat that is figured out say 200 cal by its weight will actually be around 240 calories raw. Much will depend on the fat content of the meat for instance, ground beef with a lot of fat will end up working out about the same because some of…

calculating calorie intake and calories burned is all well and good, but the proof is in the actual outcome No weekly calorie deficit.

Yes, because different cooking methods will have different water contents in the cooked meat so always weigh it raw to be as accurate as possible

Any calorie amount specified by this app or any other app is going to be strictly a starting point not meant to be perfectly accurate, however 2,300 sounds reasonable and maybe even a bit low depending on how active you are during the day, so to lose around a pound a week you’d need to eat 500 cal a day less than that. The…

After a month with no loss, you’re not in a weekly calorie deficit

Based on someone saying BMR is USUALLY lower than TDEE tells me that no they don’t know it BMR is

BMR are the calories it takes to live if you laid in bed all day and didn’t move. You don’t want to eat that low. Your TDEE are all the calories you burn throughout the day, including your BMR your exercise and your NEAT.

that amount may be accurate or it may not be accurate. Those numbers are just a starting point. The right way to do it which will actually save time in the long run is track your calories for a week and if your weight has been stable for the most part for a while, those are your maintenance calories so you want to take…
