Sounds about right as my average daily steps is around 5000 mark in the week and 8000 at weekend

Out of curiosity i didn't exercise last night and just went about my day as normal so had a (sedentary) lifestyle as per my job. My fitbit Charge HR for the day was a TDEE of 2232 Calories, so i then checked this using various online calculators as suggested and got the following so its likely the fitbit does overestimate…

Thanks. Just done this and its 6.47lbs so having lost 1.5lbs as current then im clearing doing something wrong with calories in vs calories out.

Sounds like i need to be more vigilant on both fronts then to find the balance between the two. Im always conscious for health reasons of not eating below my BMR (which i used to at 1600kcals) as my BMR is 1700 kcals a day so might need to make sure i get the best use out of what im consuming calories wise to fill me up.…

Thanks for all the responses, really appreciate it. I weigh all the solids i eat where i can. Started doing that when i realised what the actual weight was of the weekend bowl of cereal i was having. (80g not 30g like i was logging so huge difference). Liquids i try to measure using measuring cups - not always possible…

To be honest i probably had a diet too high in carbs which was what made me swing the other way. They were healthy carbs such as fruits / sweet potato / brown bread etc but some days they were 60% of my intake.

I have lost a little in terms of inches but only a 1/4". Always wondered about the muscle weighing more than fat, is it a that much that you would notice it a lot. I always thought it applied to people who are doing a lot of strength training which home workouts dont really have.

Thanks Olly - just had a look and understand it now. BMR is similar with both then really. Seems i was under eating then so Ill push my calorie intake up then to 2000/2100 then and track this meticulously. I was tired during workouts so makes sense. Will have to go back to the 40% Carbs / 40% protein / 20% fat then as was…

Thanks for everyones help so far. I will definitely add some weights to my workout to see if that helps. 1/2lb a week weight loss i would be happy with so will aim for that and make sure my logging is accurate at all times. The only issue i have is what my calorific needs should be. Beachbody Calculator says i need to eat…

Probably for the last 6 weeks. I say weight loss plateua but have lost 0.3kg over that period (though this depends on what day i weigh myself as some days its the same)

Based on the Harris Benedict equation i should be eating 2461 calories so 1900 calories gives me a deficit. I changed to 1900 from 1600 as i felt i would be under eating. Yes i measure portions using a digital scale and i am measuring my liquids. Im 170cm tall.
