Hey! Newbie to counting calories here. My research said to lose 50 lbs in a year I needed to stay at or below 1800 day. Started entering foods I have been eating for over a year now and I’m only averaging 1225 calories. Even with treats included. Surprisingly lost 4 lbs in 5 days with the app but know need longer time period to be accurate. My question is if I’m eating the same food I was eating before the app why am I suddenly showing a weight loss when I haven’t lost I’ve actually gained recently (before FatSecret). Thanks!
101.1 kg Lost so far: 1.8 kg.    Still to go: 21.7 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.

Hi Irish and welcome to FS. I've found that when I estimate calories, I tend to underestimate. I also forget to include some items. When I track what I eat by weighing and measuring, I know what I am actually eating, it can make a huge difference. So, my guess is, you didn't magically start losing weight because you joined FS, you're losing because you're tracking more accurately. This is a great site, good luck on your journey!. 🌞

That’s what is strange to me. I wasn’t counting calories before. But I am still eating the same meals and size portions. Don’t get me wrong. I’ll take it. LOL! But I know my weight will fluctuate up and down as I go. Just a weird fluke!
