Why isn't cutting calories working?
I've used several tools to come up with a conservative estimate of the calories I burn on a daily basis, about 2300. I've been eating 1700 calories and started working out daily in addition to that. I've not seen any results. I've been truthful with counting. It seems like the math should work no matter what, but I haven't lost a pound. Any personal trainers or nutritionists who can explain why a calorie deficit wouldn't result in weight loss?

It takes time - I cut my calories by almost 500 daily and started doing more running and cardio. It took almost a month to start losing weight to where it would stay off and I could see the difference in how I looked and felt. Everyone is different - Some people when they cut their calories their body takes it as a "survival" mode because you're not getting as much as you used to it will keep what it gets until it realizes that the new intake is the norm.
Just give it time - a month at the very least before you think it's not working.

changing your diet to only healthy foods is the best thing you can do and will ensure you will lose weight if combine with walking everyday especially.
you can eat how much you like if you stay within these 3 guidelines and still lose fat naturally and gradually. You should lose 10lbs each month on average.
1.eat only steamed lean meats, eggs, healthy fruits ,vegetables, nuts, grains, & yogurt..2. drink only water, juice, & milk..3. walk or do some physical exercise 1-3 hour every day.
(btw, recommend you also to buy an electronic food steamer ((Very cheap)) and a rice cooker as makes it very easy to prepare healthy meals ,,add a bit of olive oil and pepper, spices on top of steamed vegeatables, fish or chicken to add more taste if wish as these are healthy too.)
