Losing Weight Issue
Posted on 1/14/23 at 10:03 pm

So I am struggling to lose weight and here is my current meals:
Today: 1803 calories 39% fat 32% carbs 29% protein
1/13: 1504 calories 42% carbs 33% fats 25% protein
1/12: 1518 calories 47% carbs 34% fats 19% protein
1/11: 1818 calories 40% fats 39% carbs 21% protein
1/10: 1459 calories 45% carbs 40% fats 15% protein
1/9: 1377 calories 47% fats 30% protein 23% carbs
Now I'm fairly active in that I hit 10-18k steps a day along with working at twice a week. However, I feel I've reached a place where it is harder to lose weight, not sure if I need to increase weight lifting, more cardio, or tighten of my diet.
Probably all 3 to be honest, however over rhe past week I've actually put on 0.2 lbs.

No really. If you’re doing all the exercise you say and weigh 250lbs eating 1300 cals, that’s not a long term solution

For fun, I looked up the BMR of a 30 year old, 5'10, 700lb person with that level of activity. It is over 6000 calories. You would be losing over a pound a day just eating 2000 calories, macros wouldn't matter.
Size, age and sex matters when it comes to the calculations. If you are very small, you could legit be in a surplus even on a restrictive diet. My sisters all have to be sub 1500 just in maintenance cause they are short and work office jobs. Details are important.

Yes to all three whether you’re losing weight, gaining weight, or maintaining weight.
And if you’re really averaging less than 1800 calories a day and not losing weight, you’re either a 110 pound female or being dishonest about your calorie count.

Doesn’t help that we don’t know your size. It looks like you don’t eat enough protein.

eat more meat

Need to know your weight and how long you've been dieting

Need to know your height, weight, age and goal weight

Personally I think your macros suck but there isn’t much else to go on. I get my best results keeping protein at least 40% and fat as low as possible
Try 45% protein, 35% carbs, 20% fat is my suggestion and stop worrying about steps. Count your workouts and cardio

Short term you’re going to want to up the protein and cut the carbs in half. Do something to sweat every day. More resistance at this point than cardio if weight loss is truly the goal. You can keep the workouts short, a half hour or less, but do something. Work larger muscle groups to start. Body weight squats, lunges, push-ups etc if you can’t get to some weights. By strengthening those muscles you will end up burning more calories long term.
