How long a trend are we looking at? Is it two weeks and you didn't see two pounds (500*7*2) or are you finding that over many weeks this food intake with your activity level seems to really be your maintenance and not a deficit? Have you noticed anything since you've been on a deficit like too tired to walk the dog for 45 mins so a quick 15 is all he gets and then you watch TV?
If you think that your daily activity + exercise + calories seems to be at a maintenance level based on a number of weeks of accurate tracking then you have to change something.
Believe it or not, you could try dropping the intervals to once a week and maybe just add a 30 min walk each 3-5 days a week instead. Or you could try dropping your calories a bit more - you're a big guy and probably have some room there to carry a bigger deficit even if Mifflin was spot on for you. What are you hitting today for calories?
