My weight loss has stagnated. I think i am getting leaner though but not super noticeably or it is really slow. I don't really exercise but a typical day of eating for me is as follows:
Breakfast: Sugar free vanilla iced coffee with cream and 4 splendas
Lunch: A turkey, bacon, provolone/swiss/gouda cheese, Lettuce and Tomato whole wheat wrap with diet coke. Sometimes I do a grilled chicken salad to mix it up from Chopt.
Dinner: A half rotisserie chicken from the local colombian/peruvian place. I estimate this is around 700 calories. With a diet soda.
I'm currently 5'10 and fluctuate in weight betwen 189 and 195 depending how my carb intake (on a cheat day I may hit 199).
Need some advice. My diet is super basic and i only eat out because of work schedule. Thoughts are appreciated. My goal is to drop down to 175 pounds. Thanks!

I don't see any relevant stickies based on their titles. I don't have time to go through each individual sticky and pick which one I think fits my question best.

Pretty much haha! That talks about macros and such. I looked at it and they ask that I post macros not meals. I know i'm eating at a deficit. There's no way my daily caloric intake exceeds my TDEE. I can calculate macros and calories that doesn't answer my question as to why my weight remains the same.

It's because your daily intake averages out to be your TDEE. It's science.Originally Posted by FromFatToFit94

This, you are obviously not eating in a deficit because if you were you would be losing weight.Originally Posted by CommitmentRulz

If you are not losing weight, you are simply not in a deficit. Try tracking your caloric intake for 1-2 days, track everything and work out how much you are consuming each day. If your weight is stagnant, try reducing this number slowly (300 cals min) to place yourself in a deficit. Watch your body weight trends, and if you are losing weight at a steady rate than continue. If your weight remains the same, you will need to further reduce your intake or increase your activity.
