HELP. Nothing is working... Ive tried every diet there is. Nothing works. I gain at 1200 calories and I gain at 1700 and of course I gain at 2000... the only thing that worked was the 20/30 program where I was eating 500-600 calories a day. that is just not something that I can keep up. What really works for a 51 year old whose metabolism has stopped? I get some exercise. of course I could do more... much more.

You might want to go see a doctor if what you say is true, and complete.
Otherwise I'd suggest you look into this guys(JC deen) book as he addresses a lot of the dysfuntional patterns of behavior and downward mental spirals with dieting. Maybe listen to the podcast on the page

Have you checked out: www.iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ Then adjust for what macro split works best for you. There is also a fitness group to help with IIFYM that is super supportive and can make sure your numbers are right if you need help :)

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. Certainly, there could be medical issues and such that would benefit from expert advice. That said, I've found it tremendously helpful to weigh and log everything I eat. I got a great digital kitchen food scale, log everything to the gram, and overestimate if I eat out somewhere. I also got a Fitbit and set it to sync automatically to this website via FitMess. That really gives me a true picture of all of my calories in and out (as well as that can be approximated without lab tests) and the ability to monitor the relationship between total daily calories, calories expended, and weight trends over time. Others here may have better advice. Good luck! You can find what works for you, if you're persistent!

Also, I would completely ignore the activities and exercising part of the tracking. That will all come out in the wash between the variables : intake and weight.
