I tried eating between 1200-1400 calories and the days that I splurge and eat 1600 calories I gain like 2 lbs!?! I've cycled between 187-179 for the last few weeks and I haven't gone over 2000 cals for sure. I don't get it.... I've added weight training and food diaries. Any help would be appreciated.
    Same deal here...40# down and stuck. I hope this week I'll come out of it. I've eaten some pretty cruel things to get me moving again. It's working somewhat. I'm going to do it again tonight to jump start. I hope it works...3 is a charm, hopefully.

    Hm. Not to disagree with Hat Trick, but I see a fair bit of protein in there. I am roughly estimating about 60g of protein, which is above the RDA (although not as much as I'd recommend when exercising a lot).

    I think the amount of protein could be increased, though, and the processed foods cut back on ... but that's my particular frame of reference.
