Weird indeed. It potentially takes years for PUFA to be depleted from adipose tissue. This mean that when you are eating less, more of the energy comes from stored PUFA, further decreasing the metabolic rate. Do you do any strength training to keep the rate up during low eating periods?
Also, I suppose you have it under control, but the short term variations can be due to inbalance between Potassium and Sodium. (Potassium<<Sodium => water retention)
just by dose taken, and then assuming that T4 converts to T3 with a one-week half-life and calculating how much of both should be in the blood on top of my own production, which I can't measure.
It’s a pattern I’ve been noticing with exfatloss too, he might be hitting the limits of keto for his body as he gets out of the obese zone and into the overweight zone. You might need a different strategy to cross that chasm.
I’m also starting to think that there are also long term adaptation effects as your body gets used to various strategies. It’s like how you can train yourself to increase your glycogen storage capacity by constantly stressing them out with HIIT workouts, which can lead other metabolic pathways, such as keto, to become even more atrophied, so when you try it, its extra hard for you.
date, weight, waking temperature, amount of T4 taken, amount of NDT taken. I want to publish my raw data, but I figure most people are looking at the graph which summarises it.

Also how do you track your thyroid hormone levels? Is that dosing or some sort of at home blood meter?

What are the labels for the table columns?

That's weird. Yep, that's my whole analysis. Your metabolism is nothing short of a roller coaster.
That's what I think too!
