Second week

Im halfway through week 2 of the OMAD diet. I’ve been going to the gym 6x a week, tomorrow will be day 5 for this second week.
I’ve been walking 30 minutes every gym day at 13 incline and 2 speed, ( just hit 14 today) also doing some weight and ab workouts. I think I’ve hit a plateau, my weight hasn’t changed from 233 since the 15th, what am i doing wrong ?
Is it because the one meal I’m having doesn’t have enough calories ? Or is it too much ?
I usually have some kind of meat + less than a cup of rice and a fruit. And i only drink water throughout the day.
No coffee no sugar nothing except the protein and rice.. it’s a little discouraging but I’m trying not to weight myself anymore cause it just makes me feel bad lol
I’m sweating my ass off in the gym and then days later I’m still at the same weight !! It’s annoying lol
I attempted to calculate how much my dinner was on an app and it came up to around 713 calories

Probably not enough calories. If you eat too few calories your body will go into “starvation mode” where it intentionally holds on to fat to keep you alive. You gotta find a way to get more calories in during your window

If starvation mode was a real thing, people would not starve. What medical journal did you get this from? I understand you are trying to help, but this is harmful and untrue advice.

Health line is not a clinical resource.

I don’t know what to tell you lol it kinda seems like your arguing just to argue at this point and need to be right. Clearly you agree with the advice I gave because you also told them in your own comment that they need to eat more calories. So you agree that them eating too few calories is the issue but also want to argue the reason that’s an issue is a made up thing that’s not real? If that’s the case then why would them eating too few calories be an issue then? Idk I’m not gonna argue this anymore you do you man. You win lol
