Tracking intakes but not losing, do I need to adjust my BMR?
I’ve been tracking my nutrition through Cronometer for the last 5 weeks or so. I’ve maintained my weight between 128-132lbs for the last several years but want to lose some, eventually down to 120lb or so. I’m only 5’2”. Cronometer says my BMR is about 1290cal. I’ve been eating around a ~300cal daily deficit for the last several weeks, sometimes not in a deficit but almost always. I don’t exercise a ton but I work outdoors so I do a lot of walking, weeding, etc. and I bike to work rather than drive. After 5 weeks of tracking, I’m still at the same weight.
Food-wise, I’m definitely a snacker but I eat a bunch of veggies, fruit, and fairly healthy veggie-heavy meals. I do like potato chips but I’m currently working on swapping those out for some slightly better salty crunchy snacks (wasabi peas, chickpea snacks, etc).
Any suggestions for starting to drop a few pounds? Is it likely that my BMR as calculated by Cronometer is just too high? I don’t currently have a scale but I do measure out most of my food with cup measures so I should have a fairly accurate determination of my calorie intake. Thanks!
