Well I did have my activity set in as sedentary, but then someone said to change it to light activity since Im walking at the job all day long and just to log any extra activity that I do.The day I burned 3000 calories, I rode my motorcycle alllll day. So thats probably why it was high that day, like 4 or 5 hours in the hot sun. Can't agree with you on me only burning about 2000 a day when Im working out.Remember I am tall 5'11  and 196 pounds, I'm not a little chick...lol.  I know if Im sedentary I burn  about 2040 according to CC and my little gadget.

You are right about staying out the fast food joints.  I am going to stay out of them and cook more.

Yesterday I had 2 bananas for breakfast. COllard greens, broccoli and fried fish for lunch( I know stay away from fried foods..lol) and for dinner I had baked fish, broccoli and uncle ben's rice. I had an apple and a quaker bar for a snack. totaling about 1269 cals. Thats kind of low. I find that if I eat healthy, I dont meet my cals

THanks everyone for all the advice u giving me. I have started my new way of eating as of yesterday.

 thanks for responding, I was hoping you would give me advice. I love reading your post

Here is what I did for the last week
Cals burn  Calories ate        Deficient

2779        ;   1695        ;          1084

2753        ;   1890        ;            863

2319        ;    1822        ;          497

2669           1226        ;           1443

2214        ;     1469        ;         745

2553           1463        ;          1090

3092        ;    1476                  1616

My burn is  around the same amount of calories as I was before I got the gowear fit and I was losing, so CC was pretty accurate.

 I can say that I don't eat that healthy, I love going out to eat like mcdonalds, applebees, etc but I thought it didnt matter as long as you have a deficient at the end of the day.

I go walking everyday at the track for 60 mins and if I dont walk I play basketball. Not only that, I'm walking alot at my job up and down steps.

When I do an analysis on CC, it says my average sodium for the week is around 3079mg. I think that may be high, but I drink alot of water.

Monday I had smothered pork chop, buttered corn, and broccoli casserole an for dinner I had a footlong sub from subway. 1593 cals and burned 2549 def of 956

Tuesday I had ribs, baked beans, french fries and bbq chicken for lunch and for dinners I ate 6 peanut butter cookies and some ice cream and a granola bar. 2003 cals and burned 2242 def of 239

Wednesday I for breakfast I ate a quaker peanut butter bar and a coffee and for lunch some neck bones, mac and cheese and collard greens, for dinner I had an reduced fat ice cream cone from mcdonalds and a large fry. 1436 Cals and burned 2566  def of 1130

How does my eating look? This is what I was always eating and I was losing before, so what happen??
