Narrative:

In the process of flight planning hkg-ZZZ, I neglected to restrict the maximum takeoff gross weight to actual takeoff gross weight when aircraft was fueled to maximum tanks. This resulted in the load planners in hkg to put approximately 19000 extra payload on the aircraft. At point of redispatch, flight was diverted anc due to over-burn caused by the additional 19000 payload on board. Flight fueled and proceeded to ZZZ.

Narrative: IN THE PROCESS OF FLT PLANNING HKG-ZZZ, I NEGLECTED TO RESTRICT THE MAX TKOF GROSS WT TO ACTUAL TKOF GROSS WT WHEN ACFT WAS FUELED TO MAX TANKS. THIS RESULTED IN THE LOAD PLANNERS IN HKG TO PUT APPROX 19000 EXTRA PAYLOAD ON THE ACFT. AT POINT OF REDISPATCH, FLT WAS DIVERTED ANC DUE TO OVER-BURN CAUSED BY THE ADDITIONAL 19000 PAYLOAD ON BOARD.
