I recorded everything I eat on MyFitnessPal. If I am at home everything is weighed. If I go out for a meal I take a best guess. Been doing it for years now, most foods are saved on MFP so it takes less than 5 minutes a day.
I determined it by trial and error. Start off at a figure give it two weeks and adjust up or down depending on what the scales do. Give it two more weeks and repeat.
Activity levels vary daily but it averages out over a period of time. If you keep your calories level and adjust every couple weeks depending on what the scales say you will come up with a average maintenance calories for you.
What's your macro breakdown? 40:30:30? CPF

Yeah i am by far not a lazy person, dont do lifts, enjoy walking etc etc dont usually sit down to rest till about 8:30 at night as is usual with kids. I think the main issue is just my metabolism is fucked...
I am thinking the only real way to start fixing this is to start a log on here and start weighing my food, no so much so i dont over eat but to make sure i am eating enough....
My energy levels are generally fine and i dont have issues in the gym when lifting at lunch times.
So i am thinking of a blood test to check that everything is fine and there are no main issues there and then started a log and aiming for 2000cals a day for the first coupld of weeks increasing 200cals a day every 2 weeks till i get to 2600cals a day and seeing how things go

Same. Maintained for a month. Figured that was maintenance. (that includes measurements not just scales)
Neddysmith: I'd get blood tests done for sure. That seems crazy low if you are accurately counting. I'd say "most" people still under report by a bit though as it's not possible to be 100% accurate IMO. As long as you are consistent though, it's all good.
haha 3x! Who are they trying to fool?! It's like the people on MFP who don't log "bad" days. Just because you didn't put it online doesn't mean your body doesn't count/store it.
Yep it was pretty much that.
Didn't count food they ate while they where cooking food.
Didn't count food they ate while on the piss.
Didn't count the odd snack here and there because they are only little snacks.
Didn't count the leftovers they finished of their partners plate at meals.
Lol.
They were 100% confused why they couldn't loose weight.

@ Big Mick
I was looking into CBL which i believe is the new version of Carb Nite both by John Kiefer?
However, my issues are as follows, both seem to advocate training late in the day and then filling up with carbs afterwards which is fine, however, I train during my lunch break and i am not sure if carbing up for the rest of the day would be suitable.
I did quite like the idea of CBL and thought it would have been reasonably easy to follow, the only catch was the training time.
any suggestions?
