Hello everyone! Just to give a little background, I’m 25F, 5’5 and about ~152 pounds. Before I started eating at a calorie deficit, I spent a month trying to figure out my true maintenance by logging everything I ate. I work out 6 days a week, walking 10k steps every day including my rest day, 3 days weight training and hopping on the elliptical for 30 minutes every other day on top of those. While I was working out, I found my maintenance to be 1850 calories (which is surprisingly low and its frustrating, but i have to work with what i have)
Fast forward, starting 2 weeks ago, i started eating at a 500 calorie deficit at 1350 calories. I’m still working out the same, I measure EVERY SINGLE THING ON A FOOD SCALE- oil, butter, dressing, bites of food. Everything. However, i didn’t only NOT maintain, i gained 3 pounds. WHAT GIVES? I’m extremely frustrated. It’s not a new workout regimen so i doubt it’s water weight. This scientifically doesn’t make sense to me at all.
Should I eat less? Should i increase my activity level? Or should i just keep doing what i’m doing to see if the weight will eventually come off? Any advice appreciated!!
