I’m putting on weight and I can’t figure out why. I’m definitely eating less than 2000 calories per day (probably 1500-1750 typically), most of which are admittedly carbs. I’m trying to get back to a decent sleep schedule but for the last six months or so it’s been 4-6 hours per night with the TV on. I do have high stress levels from work (and anxiety in general). I run 4-6 miles once per week, one mile twice per week, and do 90 minute Ashtanga sessions twice per week. I don’t know if it’s the carbs, the stress, the sleep, some combination of the above, or a crappy metabolism. My GP doesn’t have much to say about it and I don’t know if I should be talking to a personal trainer, dietician/nutritionist, or bariatric specialist (I’m not obese but not sure who else would have a good idea of all of the factors that could be causing the weight gain). Does anyone have advice on where to start?
ETA: Thank you all SO much for your feedback, it is such a huge relief to know that I’m probably just eating too much and it’s not some underlying issue that’s going to be a big hassle to address. I really really appreciate everyone taking the time to point me in the right direction!
