Create a log write down every morsel you eat for a while (month?) if you are losing great if not reduce by 250 day and try that for a week or two! Remember to have a cheat meal once a week and eat 5-6 small meals to rev up the slow met. The nutrition profile tells me I can eat 1700-to lose 1950 to maintain. I WISH! At 1700 I gain one pound a week! I maintain at about 1350 and lose at 1100 cal a day. Now that slow and I am very active! I have an identical twin and she is the same as me so some of this stuff is genetic. So check out the Nutrition section and adjust as you see or don't see results! GOOD LUCK
