What counts as a plateau
One high weigh-in is water. A plateau here means the weekly average has been roughly flat for 3–4 weeks while you thought you were in a deficit.
Logging, weekends, steps
We rank tracking error, water, NEAT/steps, or a smaller body. Fix one. Gym stalls are the gym plateau diagnostic.
Diet breaks vs another cut
If logging is honest and steps held, eat at maintenance for a bit or recast TDEE — don’t slash another 500 on day one. Recalculate maintenance on the TDEE calculator.
