Tracking calories but scale won’t budge

[Anonymous]

I am a 50 year old woman who is 5’2” tall and 112 pounds. I take brisk walks with a weighted vest 3 times a week and lift weights (alternating lower and upper) 4 times a week. I track my calories carefully and get 800-1,000 per day. My Oura ring claims I burn around 1,500 calories per day and yet the scale is not moving. My goal is 97 pounds. Any advice?

set your goal at 112 - 120 pounds. don't strive to weight less than 100 pounds. seek help if you need it.

I made a thread about another one in Website Feedback and Jeff ignored it.

OP here. I don’t have an eating disorder. I do have a small appetite. My doctor said that to be as healthy as possible, it is ideal to have very low body fat. She has no issue with my goal as long as I am getting a healthy nutritional balance of foods. I have a rare disease that requires I intake minimal protein. I have my labs done every couple of months and they all look good.

Then focus on building muscle, not cutting calories.

You are not eating enough.

People in this forum live to hate on this concept, but if your body is not getting active calorie input, it cannot handle cortisol and thus will hold on to fat.

Try eating more - good, Whole Foods, nutritionally dense foods - but a lot more of them. Make sure you are hitting your macros correctly. And then see what’s what.

I struggled to lose weight for years - but as soon as I started eating breakfast and eating more, the weight fell off.
