Not meeting calorie goals
So I can't seem to be meeting my calorie goals for the past week or so. I haven't really changed anything, but I am always 400+ short. I eat all 3 meals, and I make sure to eat either a protein bar or other snack between each meal. What else should I do to add calories to my diet without just eating a bunch of junk?

My first day

I was able to finally exceed my goal by 200 calories. This app really makes you aware of how you live. Tomorrow I'll improve!
