Should be accurate.  Another way to check is to look at your total distance run (probably around 6 miles?) and if you run for an hour that's your average speed/hour. Enter that on this website in your activity log and it will also give you a calorie burned estimate.  

Yup, I have a kitchen scale and literally weigh everything.  I only drink water and a little bit of 1% milk in coffee (which I tag).  No alcohol.  I tag all condiments, only use splenda.  I'm completely stumped.  

I know you do have water weight gain which causes fluctuation, but what I'm concerned about is that not only have I not lost any weight for three weeks now, I'm actually starting to gain some back.  

With what I eat and how active I am, I think I should be losing weight regularly.  

So, over the past two days I have eaten 1250, and 1200 calories.  I have gained 1lb. Anyone have any ideas? How can I be gaining weight when I have a daily calorie deficit?

Thanks for the advice - I like your idea about switching up my workout routine. Maybe biking one day, running the next, golfing the day after that... Definitely worth trying.  

As for starch, I have next to none in my diet.  The carbs I get are mostly from veggies, whole grains (a little bread), organic oatmeal and granola.  I might eat whole grain rice or pasta  one a week, but never potatoes or corn or anything with white flour.  

A typical dinner for me would be 100g of lean protein like fish or turkey, lots of veggies (steamed or raw in salad), and some berries for dessert.  

I'm concerned about the idea of taking in less calories, because they advise that you should never eat below 1200 per day, otherwise your body will go into starvation mode.  

Would it not be better to eat more calories, as long as I burn more as well?

Thanks for the reply.  I'm curious, how do you recommend that I "shock it into change"?

I'm not sure what my body fat percentage is. How do you measure it without calipers?  

I am usually 113 - 116 lbs though, so 121 is high for me.
