Plateau troubleshooting
Weight-Loss Plateau Guide
A plateau is not one bad weigh-in. FitCommit helps you check the trend, audit the inputs, refresh calories, and decide whether to wait, adjust, diet break, or fix recovery.
Confirm the trend
Compare 7-day averages before reacting to scale noise.
Check the inputs
Audit food logs, steps, training, sleep, hunger, and stress.
Choose the next move
Recalculate, adjust, diet break, reverse diet, or recover.
Plateau Diagnostic Checklist
Compare weekly averages
Use 7-day scale averages for at least 2 weeks before calling the stall real.
Audit tracking drift
Check oils, sauces, snacks, weekends, restaurant meals, and portion estimates.
Refresh current maintenance
Your TDEE drops as body weight changes. Recalculate before cutting calories again.
Check output and recovery
Steps, lifting performance, cardio, sleep, soreness, stress, and hunger all affect the read.
Pick one next move
Wait, tighten logs, add movement, make a small calorie change, or use a diet break.
