If you’re tracking your calories, following your diet, and still not losing weight, there may be something in your food tracking that you’re unintentionally missing. In this episode, I walk through my 7-point fat loss checklist for figuring out why the scale isn’t moving even when you think you’re 100% adherent. I cover untracked calories, weighing foods raw versus cooked, batch cooking, inaccurate food logs, sodium fluctuations, food variety, and the mistake of tracking net carbs instead of total carbs. I also explain how water loss during cooking can change food weight, why seemingly small tracking errors can erase your calorie deficit, and how sodium, food volume, and digestion can create scale fluctuations that look like a fat loss plateau. Before you lower your calories or assume your metabolism is the problem, use this checklist to tighten up your data and identify what may actually be keeping the scale from moving.
