You're eating less than ever and the scale won't move.
Log your food in MyFitnessPal. I read it every week and tell you what to change.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1992
1,028 on paper. 2,081 measured.
Researchers studied people who said they ate under 1,200 calories a day and still couldn't lose. Their diaries came to 1,028 a day. Measured, it was 2,081. Their metabolism tested normal.
A gap like that is hard to see from inside your own diary. I read yours from the outside, every week.
How it works
One week with me
Everything below is a sample week, so you can see what you get before you send me anything.

You log your food
In MyFitnessPal, the free version. You share your diary with me and I see your week like this.
Your week, as I see it SampleMonday to Thursday, about 1,000 a day. Friday to Sunday, about 2,600. The week averages 1,700.

Sunday, your week on one page
Every Sunday you get your week on one page and a voice note from me. It ends on one thing to change.

Voice note from Charlie SampleHey, your week. Monday to Thursday you were around a thousand a day, then Friday to Sunday around twenty six hundred. Thursday had no lunch at all. So this week I only want one thing. Lunch every weekday, even if you're not hungry. That's the only change.

You get your calories from me
When you start, I give you your calories for the day. You keep eating your own food, and when your week shows they're off, I change them.
JAMA, 2003
9.7 lbs with a person. 4.4 without.
Researchers split 92 adults in an online program into two groups. One group also got feedback from a person every week on what they logged. After a year, that group had lost more than twice as much.
Who reads your diary
I'm Charlie.
I went from 192 to 138 lbs in 14 months. I tried a lot of things before anything worked. Now I eat like a normal person and I don't obsess over it.
I'm a NASM Certified Nutrition Coach. I coach in English and Spanish, and I only work on the food side.

Before you send anything
Who this is for
It's for you if
You're 18 or older and tired of guessing what's going on with your food. You keep eating what you eat and I check it every week.
It isn't for
Medical diets. If a doctor put you on one, you want a registered dietitian, and eatright.org can help you find one. If you take medication, that stays between you and your doctor.
Uno a Uno
What it costs
I read your diary during the week and text you when I see something. Every Sunday you get your week on one page and a voice note from me. You get your calories from me, and when your week shows they're off, I change them.
Your first review comes the Sunday after you start. Paid monthly. If you want to stop, tell me and it stops.
Send me your statsI read your stats before I send a payment link, so I know first that I can help you.

Send me your stats
Age, height, weight and what's going on with your food. I'll message you where you tell me.

I only work with people 18 and up, so I can't help with this one.
Questions
What people ask first
Do I need a food scale?
It helps. A kitchen scale in grams gets your diary closer to what you really eat. If you don't have one yet, start logging anyway.
Which app do I use?
MyFitnessPal, the free version. Search foods by brand name.
Do I have to give up foods I like?
No. I work with what's already in your diary.
Do you coach in Spanish too?
Yes. English or Spanish, whichever you want.
What happens after I send my stats?
I read them and message you. If I can help, I show you how it works and send you the link. If it's something for a doctor or a dietitian, I tell you that.
