That's not surprising. First, at 30 kcal/day, even if burn-rate was *entirely* contant, it'd take 100 days to drop a single pound. Even in a lab, controlling the diet of a person to within 1% margin over more than 3 months is close-to-impossible.
Secondly, your metabolism ain't *that* stable, nor is your level of physical activity. You burn 50-100 kcals a day just by fidgeting, it's hardly possible to accurately measure precicely how much people fidget over months.
A lot of other factors ranging from daylight-hours to temperature to how many days you where at work over those 3 months also influence your energy burn-rate.
