So I've been tracking my calories (religiously) for quite some time now, and while mathematically I should be losing 1-2 lbs a week, there is nothing happening?
I did the Harris-Benedict Formula for caloric need and came up with 2341 cals/day to maintain my current weight.
I'm 5'8/212/25 years old. I work out 5 times a week, and wear a heart rate monitor with watch and it calculates your caloric burn (you input your weight, age, height), and I burn between 500-800 cals a workout, and my heart rate is always in the correct range.
I consume at most 1800 cals a day, which is already 500 less than I need to maintain my weight (so I should lose 1 lb/week), and then I also exercise for another -500, which means I should be losing 2 lbs/week. But nothing is happening. I might lose 1 pound, and then the next day I've gain 1.3 lbs back!
Any advise? I know that weight loss does not always follow perfectly with the mathematical world, but I would think I should be losing something!
