Hi all. I originally posted this in the daily Q&A but didn't receive a response. I'll try here and hope for some feedback. Comment directly copy and pasted from thread:.
So I am 5'7", F 31, 167lbs.
I have been doing IF (16-8) and keeping my calories to 1300/day and averaging 110g of protein. I have a sedentary desk job, but walk 5km a day after work. I cut out all alcohol too.
I have been doing all of this for five weeks.
I've gained 4lbs and don't see ANY visible progress (I take a photo every Sunday). This doesn't seem possible.
I use a food scale to measure my portions and log everything. I make sure to track any cooking oils I use, and I've cooked all my meals so there's no room for error in guestimating on takeout/restaurant food.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've tried googling but everything just says I am counting my calories wrong and to get a good scale. I already have and use one. I know I'm counting correctly.
E: also, my cycle is super regular. I can tell exactly which day I'm going to start my period, even which days I expect to be a little on edge, bloated, etc. I weighed myself initially on a day I knew I'd be heavier due to bloating/water retention and I still gained.
I'm so confused and discouraged.
