You're getting fat Oh yeah, well you're starting to sound like my ex husband. Hmm, I didn't know you were married before. I wasn't.....

Go to an orthopedic surgeon. Don't screw around with a GP.
-
He's right, lol.
-
Give it another week or 2. If still no change or extremely slow you need to lower your weekly calorie amount and\or increase activity.
-
What is your height an weight
-
Too much is when you aren’t recovered and train again anyway
-
Many people will just choose the entry with the fewest calories then wonder why they can’t lose.
-
First of all use grams for macros instead of percentages with protein being the main focus. Figure around .7-1 gram per pound of your target weight as figuring current weight for you would put it way too high. Be careful to not figure your necessary calories too high or you’ll spin your wheels for awhile trying to figure…

You want to figure calories by the week as daily amounts vary. Add up 7 days of calories and divide by 7 and this your daily average which is the number to look at. The app shows this. Stick to that amount for 4 to 6 weeks before judging if that amount is or isn’t correct for your fatloss goals.

No, I'm in the “men can’t get pregnant, have periods or go through menopause” camp. You are correct and in agreement that those things affect the “calories out” side of the equation. Which was the point I was making. I watched my ex go through it and her weight gain was fluid retention. Zero effect? Perhaps not.
-
I don’t see how feeling like crap negates CICO. It will affect NEAT so that just means lower calories are required however feeling like crap can cause your dietary choices to be less than optimal and cause calories to probably increase.
-
Unless there is a calorie suplus consistently there won't be fat gain. Hormones MAY have an effect on hunger however that in turn will be related to an excess of calories.
-
Hats off to you for handling your life it sounds pretty hectic for sure. First is you need to de stress. Work on that however i know first hand thats easier said than done. Diet wise, just be more conscious of your food quality. Piece by piece you can improve things. Going all in all at once isnt going to be realistic.
-
All that matters is what your total weekly calorie amount is. Fasting, OMAD, etc. don't really matter, there is no reason to do those things unless you want to however there is no real benefit.
-
lowering weight and increasing reps is not what you want to do when attempting to lose fat.
-
At your stats you need to select muscle gain or fat loss. Both simultaneously will be difficult.
-
To reiterate, if you aren't fairly lean.
-
Yours is a common occurrence. Losing a bit then slipping back into your old habits. You need to concentrate on not letting that happen. Set up your diet as a permanent eating plan that allows for the things you like in amounts that still allow for a consistent weekly calorie deficit.
-
There are many factors to consider. While running may burn more calories for the same distance, it may also compromise your other daily normal activities which will in turn, result in fewer overall calories being burned, then you have the wear and tear on your knees if you aren't fairly lean. Running can also cause you to…

You are under estimating WEEKLY caloies. If you count everything properly, every day you will find you're off on your numbers and this can be due to several factors so you need to review your data log choices, count everything that goes in your mouth accurately and don't forget liquid calories
-
You need to lower your weekly calorie intake
-
After 4-6 weeks lf no loss then you aren't in a weekly calorie deficit. At that point lower weekly calories become necessary. There is no way around this, unfortunately.
-
One factor to consider is that Muscle Protein Synthesis declines with age so it becomes increasingly important to hit those protein numbers. Matching overall calories to a typically decreasing calorie output will be crucial. You can’t discount the fact that as people age, many just don’t hold physical beauty in a high…

I can set my watch to when DOMS will appear. 24 hours after the exercise that caused it.
-
Normally people are less active during the day and dont change their eating habits as they age.
-
Yes that's why you prioritize weekly numbers over daily.
-
Are those numbers from the calculator or from your person experience with those numbers? They may or not be accurate. The daily numbers are seconndary to the overall weekly number. Daily will always fluctuate that's why you want to prioritize weekly amounts.
-
You could try it and it would probably work. There is a similar equation that is probably the same concept where you take in X calories for your goal weight. That could be anywhere from around 10-12 or so depending on exercise and NEAT requirements. When my career became more supervisory and less physical I used 10 and it…
-
Shoot for 10 lbs at a time. Daily water fluctuations can vary quite a bit so you want to be away from that possibility
-
That extra 10 lb weight will help you burn off that 10 lbs of fat faster
