Not getting enough intake

Let me start off by saying that I am not looking to gain or loose weight. Im looking to simply be the healthiest I can be.

The problem is that I don't seem to eat enough calories. When I eat the healthiest possible... such as salads, protein shakes, and some lean meats. I get full fast, and don't get the recommended amount of calorie intake. How do you get enough of the 'right' foods in you

    Its hard to say without seeing what your putting in. Definitely would need more info.

    Yes, salads and lean meats are wholesome, but where's the fat and carbs? A well balanced, nutritious diet includes fats and carbs (well salad is carbs, but MORE carbs).

    I find nuts, nut butters, potatoes, grains, fruits, dairy, avocadoes, etc. yummy, nutritious, and easy to eat, calorific, yet nutrient dense foods. And when my appetite fails me (yeah, it happens), there's a burger or tacos with my name on it.
