[QUOTE="bleedy, post: 215377, member: 15984"] Some times we can't see the forest through the trees. My two cents: If TDEE is 2500Kcals/day then I don't understand how anyone could not lose weight consuming 1800Kcals/day. Most people, myself included, seriously underestimate their calories consumed. If I'm trying to lose weight, I have to be strict with my food scale and cronometer use regardless of the type of diet I'm trying. Without tracking, I reliably overeat over time even though I'm convinced that I'm not. On the calorie expenditure side, I wear a Fitbit and it wildly overstates calories burned. For instance walking a mile will burn on average about 100 calories but my Fitbit will report 200+. As a result, I use the Fitbit as a relative measure of my calorie expenditure only, not to track TDEE. I say all this to suggest that before you dive down too many rabbit holes or spend tons of $$, maybe you should adopt a hyper strict way of tracking the calories you consume, if only for a month or two. Also your TDEE may be overstated (?) A TDEE of 2500 while consuming 1800 that doesn't lead to weight loss is not logical. Best of luck and hopefully this didn't offend. [/QUOTE]
