[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1800 calories sounds like quite a lot. For people that were previously heavier, those estimates of calorie requirements are not accurate, unfortunately.

If you want to lose more weight, you will need to eat less.[/quote]
Don't listen to this, OP. 1800 is healthy number for 6' tall male. Don't kill your metabolism for quick weight loss. Just keep going, and remember that it doesn't really matter what's your weight going to be tomorrow. Much more important is what is your weight in a year from now.[/quote]

I think 1800 is ok, but you might be eating more calories than you think.  [b]Things like cookie oil, salad dressing, cream in coffee, can add up a lot if not measured and accounted for.  Also, fruit is often a lot bigger than what the calorie calculations account for.[/b]  It may say 80 calories for a apple, but the apple could be 200+ calories if it is very large.  Same thing for bananas.  [/quote]

+1 are you weighing your food and measuring out all oils and sauces (and counting them)?

I think a pound a week is pretty normal, and if you are exercising a lot your muscles will retain more water than you'd think. Are you eating salty foods? I agree with PPs that going completely grain free might not be helping you and flax, oatmeal, might help at breakfast. Make sure you are drinking enough water (I'm a petite woman and I aim for 3L per day), and get tons of sleep. If in a month you aren't down another 3 or 4 pounds then maybe see a doctor but otherwise it could be stress, hormones, extra calories, water retention, etc. [/quote]

I am being extremely careful in sorting out my food weight. I don't even eat salad dressing. I drink my coffee black. I eat 1 apple a day. Otherwise I eat veggies and not fruits. Salmon, egg whites, lean chicken on arugula. I don't do sauces. I could stand to drink more water.[/quote]
