How can I get enough calories? I am low carb because of PCOS and I'm barely cutting the 1000 calorie mark.

    Mayonnaise, oils in cooking, higher fat cuts of meat will increase your fat and calorie intake without affecting your carbs.

    Are you using a food scale to log everything, or are you eyeballing it? It's very easy to overestimate, especially with high-fat foods (a small handful of nuts could be 2-3 servings, when you might have only logged 1).
