I've done CICO before and I lost 44lb, so I know how the whole shebang works.. but I started again a little under 3 weeks ago, quickly dropped water weight and went under 146lb and then I've sat between 145 and 146lb for the last two weeks! I'm on 1200kcal/day.
The big difference this time is that I run now, and I eat back some extra calories for running but even if I were overestimating my calories burned in running by, say, double then it'd still work out to only exceeding my intake by 50-80kcal/day. I should still see a drop, right?
Could something else be at play that I'm forgetting? I know to religiously take everything into account like cooking oils, dressings (though I don't eat anything with dressings) and that jazz.
That all being said, I'm 145.6lb this morning and the last three days I've eaten at maintenance instead of deficit, so I might see another water weight dip over the next few days (if I've been losing fat but gaining water/glycogen).
