    I try hard to up my protein, but most of it is low calories. I am always high on carbs or fat to hit my calorie goals.

    :s find it frustrating to eat so many calories a day. I'm underweight 5'4, 102 pounds if that. Supposed to eat 2,150-2500 a day please help lol

    Where did you get that number of calories? It looks like your BMR is a little over 1,300.
    Lol from this app

    at 5"4 a healthy weight can range from 110pounds-140 ,
    Your daily BMR is 1292.0,
    your BMI is 17
    Breathe ;)

    Sorry if I don't understand, but shouldn't activity be included.
    Perhaps OP has an active lifestyle. Add a 250 to 500 calorie surplus and he could be well into the 2000 calories to gain.

    Very active with high metabolism
    I've been this size and smaller, it varies, forever!!!!

    Go to any fast food joint

    Eat a triple bacon cheeseburger and wash it down with a large chocolate milkshake

    Don't forget the fries

    Pasta is also in my experience an easy way to eat a ton of calories. Make a pot of spaghetti or ravioli at home. Sprinkle liberal amounts of cheese on top... or visit Olive Garden.

    Basically what some others said... Find calorie dense foods.

    ;) good luck

    I have this problem, if you want to call it that. Two things happen - 1) I'm really active and log my exercise, which if I don't I lose weight anyway, and 2) I recently had teeth extracted from both sides of my mouth and it's hard to chew, so I eat less.

    This morning I'm still about three lb under the low end of my range.

    And I was planning on eating more, but I got involved with working on my website. Suddenly it was noon and I was starving. And also won't ever catch up the rest of the day.

    I really needed this post! I have a base need of about 2k, but with work, running, pole dance, and now yoga in the mix... It can get just a little crazy on the caloric need! Appropriate feeding of my belly is also really, really important for my mental health. A hungry belly actually causes me anxiety :/
    I wonder if eating Nutella would be the same as peanut butter?
