Been dieting consistently for the past 6 weeks with barely any weight loss

[Deleted member 1209]

I eat the same home cooked meals everyday, measure everything I eat and swear that I’ve been eating 1700/day while lifting and doing intense cardio 5 days a week but my weight barely moves and I still look the same in the mirror as far as I can tell. I either have a TDEE of 1800 or my mom is trying to sabotage my efforts by drenching all of my meals in lard/oil

In the past I was able eat 2000 calories a day while completely sedentary and see consistent progress every week

This smells like bullshit, unless you have the most subhuman genetics known to man which is unlikely, if your actually telling the truth maybe see a doctor

I eat the same home cooked meals everyday, measure everything I eat and swear that I’ve been eating 1700/day while lifting and doing cardio 5 days a week but my weight barely moves. Should I just assume that my TDEE is like 1800 and bring my calories down further?

Are you actually weighing the food?

Do you measure the cooking oil too?, because that can add a lot of calories if not careful.

- count EVERY calorie. Include liquids
- when you start exercising you gain water weight. However, if you are on caloric deficit you will lose far, but you don't see it on the scale

I only drink water, Diet Coke and coffee with artificial sweeteners and creamer (the little cups so no measurement needed) which I include in my calorie count

I’ve been doing this for 10 years. This is probably the most consistent and on point I’ve ever been on a diet. Maybe I’m just putting on muscle

Didn’t have to read past this. You’re eating more Than you think and probably not counting liquid calories and snacks on the side. You can’t eat less Than you need and still maintain weight its not possible meaning the problem is you’re still eating too much.

Complain all you want but all arrows point towards that you’re still consuming too much.

My mom is either sabotaging me/switching her up recipes for no reason and lying to my face or I have abnormally low TDEE for my height and weight. I’m not doing anything wrong on my end. I’m not an idiot who snacks or drinks calories and forgets to count it

 

[traveler]

what type of food

I’m not an idiot

Maybe not but it doesn’t take a genius to cut.

Your moms recipes are most likely higher in calories Than you think.

 

[Deleted member 1209]

what type of food

Rice/potatoes and meat

 

[Aesthetics_III]

You have your mom cooking your meals jfl cook it yourself weigh everything count EVERY calorie and make sure you are consistently below maintenance. slightly overestimate the calorie of foods as well to be as thorough as possible.

If you are still not losing any weight then see a doctor. You should be losing fat faster than building muscle so if the scale isn’t budging at all then you need a second opinion from someone actually qualified.

I have abnormally low TDEE

Giga weak mindset and mentality you sound like the people saying they have eating disorders. I was a stickman growing up and If i would just complain about my muscle genetics instead of eating until i sometimes puked and had to eat again to not lose cals i would still look like i did here.

 

[Deleted member 16501]

so what are you crying about it on here for, for attention?
stop being feminine.
dm the best weight loss consusltant and get some feedback from an expert

shouldn't be hard

didn't read your OP btw

 

[Deleted member 8608]

Fat loss is calories in vs calories out, you are eating on maintenance. You arent aware of how many calories there are in food and how much quantity you should eat, you would probably need to eat half of the amout you are eating rn, stop eating high calorie foods with lots of fat (butter, oil, peanut butter, whole milk etc.) Switch to low calorie options. Start drinking lots and lots of 0 coke and eating other artificial sweets with barely any or low calories less than 100 calories per 100 grams.

Ur overdoing it, if u r working out so hard u have made ur deficit too big and ur body has adjusted its expenditure.

Reseed for 5-10 days, just eat at maintenence, and then get back to a 300 or so calorie deficit

My mom’s been using this Goya seasoning that’s packed with salt for at least the past year. Could it be water retention from excess sodium?

You definitely are not eating that much then. Count literally everything u consume and avoid sauces. Eat 1700 calories a day of nothing but steak and eggs. You will lose weight son.

The fact is that you will lose fat if you are on caloric deficit

 

[Deleted member 1209]

Nvm, I was freaking out over some water weight fluctuation. I’m down 4+ lbs for the month
