Hi all, ok so I'm new here so I'm looking for a little advice,
I'm eating quite a lot but still falling short of about 800cals p/d I work in quite an active job and burn off quite a lot which I guess explains my weight loss, any ideas on how I can get the extra 800cals p/d? I'm a vegatarian so no meat plz thank you

Being a vegetarian is going to make it much harder for you to be in a calorie surplus. Not a whole lot of vegan foods contain really high amounts of calories. If you're one of those vegetarians that's not against eating dairy, then that right there is your best bet. Drink milk, cheese, organic protein powder (if you're a member at Costco, Orgain is a really good affordable one), and yogurt. Any kind of nuts will helps also. Aside from that, the best I can offer you is to eat more food. Increase your portion size to help "expand" your stomach over time. Once that happens it will take more food to fill you up. Also eating about 6-8 small meals a day will help a ton. By small I mean around 500 calories or so in each meal.0
