Have you checked the calories in what you’re eating?
Eating 1200kcals in a meal rather than 600kcals in 2 meals isn’t very different, other than the tendency to overeat because you’re starving.

This ^.
The only way to be sure is to count calories.
It's unfortunately all too easy, and something that I have been very susceptible to, to think that you are eating well, and not take into account very calorie dense foods very accurately at all.
When you say wall, though - how long? What fluctuations?
-
If you’re not into counting calories, add protein (protein bars for example) and cut the carbs and sugar right down

As a reverse of other people I don’t methodically count calories. I know roughly the calorific content of some foods/snacks/meals and tend to eat similar meals during the week. I find calories counting takes a lot of the joy out and don’t find it healthy (for me!).
If you’re running that often I’d suggest changing the type of running you’re doing up. Maybe chuck in some hill work, intervals etc also a weekly long slow run. Mixing it up will help work in the right zones

I've hit a bit of a wall at 82kg. Been eating well a few cheat days here and there but nothing mad. I run 5 times a week. But just seem to sit at 82kg even when I really watch what I eat.
The only thing I can think it may be is missing lunch as I'm busy at work and eating at 7pm. This does happen quite regularly.
