Starting strength may burn, maybe, 100-150 cal at most. Walking that long can burn a decent amount (I was doing about 7-8 miles a day at my last position, burning about an extra 250 cal a day)
That being said, there's no reason you shouldn't be losing any weight at all.
Here are my suggestions: 1. Stop freaking out. It's been less than 3 weeks. Don't measure yourself daily and be sure to measure in the same conditions once a week. When losing weight for the first time you're going to see the first week or two with massive success due to water weight basically evacuating from your body. This is normal, but not how slow it usually is. Normally you shouldn't expect to lose more than 1-2 lbs per week, and 2 is on the more extreme end.
2. Be sure to weigh your food. It can seem annoying at first, but weighing food is the only for-sure way to know your calorie counts are accurate. Even for snacks.
3. Make your own food. It's pretty easy to fuck up when eating out or making a guess on what's the calorie content of a burger at a local shop or so.
4. Be sure you're going off your TDEE. It sounds you may have gone off a ballpark estimator and ended up at 2700 cal per day, but I find that kind of hard to believe. Many people overestimate their activity level and end up eating too much. Try decreasing your intake to 2000 and maybe consider intermittent fasting (forgoing breakfast in-order to eat larger meals towards the end of the day).

How much sleep do you all get a night? I sleep 6.5 hrs because I hate wasting my life but I don’t wanna hurt my gains.
Should dips be painful?

I think I'm hitting the noob gains plateau doing ppl, what is the next routine I should look into? I don't need any focus on legs, whatsoever. I'm looking to focus on the Adonis belt up to neck. I'm disproportionately small from the waist up.

thanks dudes

That’ll change real quick if you don’t work legs baka. Are you looking to build size? Brosplit with drop sets on every muscle group. Probably should jump on gear.
PL? Do greyskull

No way he needs to go as low as 2000 at his height and weight.
>How much sleep do you all get a night? 8-9 always.
>Should dips be painful? Absolutely not. Make sure you don't flare your elbows, retract your shoulderblades in the bottom, control the eccentric, and lean forward in the bottom so your elbows won't have to go as far beyond your body.
Also, check your shoulder extension range of motion.
>I think I'm hitting the noob gains plateau doing ppl, what is the next routine I should look into? PPL isn't exactly a noob routine. Not saying you can't make a change or even that it wouldn't be an improvement. But if your progress is stalling it's probably your own fault, and not just because you've "run out of noob gains"

All in all, worst advice I've seen in 2018.

He's 6'2" and overweight. If he were sedentary his TDEE is only 2400, which would put him only a 400 calorie deficit if he were to do 2k a day.
The worst thing that could happen is he loses weight a little faster, he's still eating plenty.

did you just write fitness-related terms on a wall and throw darts at it?
Landon Rodriguez
I feel like I would benefit from an abxabx so I have more rest time but would i add super sets, drop sets or what? If I have more time to recover i want to push further.
