[quote=Anonymous]There is almost no good advice in this thread, OP.

Look, there is a point after you've restricted calories too much for too long, in which you do need to spend some time eating more to retune your metabolism to get to a point where you're not trying to live on 1100 calories a day without gaining weight. But that's a long story.

For now, imagine you did lose a few pounds of fat and replaced it with muscle. That is why the scale is the same but your measurements are different. That's great!

Now..you absolutely can lose weight and build muscle at the same time, but if you want long term success here, I would focus for another month on gaining muscle and eating, as you say, higher but more quality calories. It helps your metabolism and it's just simpler.

Once you have boosted your metabolism with muscle and calories, you should be able to more easily lose fat on a traditional calorie restriction diet.

The key is time..there may be ways to get there faster, but they likely won't be long term.
