Is that 'cheat' ice-cream or junk food counted in that 1500-1800 target, or do you not count that day, or what?
Do you do any muscle work?
Does the 1500-1800 include easily forgotten condiments, cooking oils, salad dressings or other add-ins? Are you logging in real-time and using a digital kitchen food scale or some other means to measure quantity well?
I usually don’t go over 2000 calories on the cheat day which is on a weekend day.
No, I don’t do any muscle work at the moment. Planning on it once I reach my goal.
I’ve mostly been baking my meats and vegetables in the oven. I just season my food with a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sometimes I use a crockpot with water, no cooking oil.
I’ve been logging in my foods/calorie intake on the Lose It app.
Yes, you should be losing weight faster by the numbers.
Let's presume a 1700 intake average, and a pre-exercise TDEE of 2544. That's a -844 defict which should result in losing 1.5 to 2 pounds a week. While that is pre-exercise, exercise would only help it be faster. You are doing a lot of steps but without the added walking, you are quite sedentary at 2000 steps a day so the above numbers probably are not too far off.
Have your doctor review any meds you might take for interactions or side-effects pertaining to metabolism and weight-loss. I'd also suggest they check for thyroid issues.
