Low caloric intake

Every time I've tracked my calories, no matter how meticulous, my count for the day always comes in low. I feel like I have to stuff myself to break 1000 calories, and yet I'm 80 pounds overweight. Should I really try to push it that much, or should I listen to my body?

Are you sure you're recording accurately? A spoonful of peanut butter or half an avocado should get you there.0

Definitely agree. Though I have totally felt this way when I cut out all heavy calorie foods we used to eat. Hard to say can't see your diary but you could try adding a little cheese portion or as said above some avacado or even a handfull of nuts or a little nut butter. Maybe a larger breakfast?0 -
I can think of two scenarios:
1) your logging is very inaccurate.
or
2) you are only logging occasionally, get very enthusiastic about it for a few days, then stop tracking calories0 -
How are you measuring your foods?
Liquids vs solids?0 -
Swap out some lower calorie foods for higher calorie options. Add in fat, our bodies need it. Add some olive oil to your salads, fry your veggies.0
