    OMG they changed the blue man to a gray man!

    OP, I'm wondering how you got to the point where you need to lose weight if you can't even eat 1200 calories?

    tis a thyroid condition. I'm sure of it.

    Peanut butter, avocados...

    Ice cream.

    Whatever you like eating that is calorie dense.

    Wish I had this problem. When I upped my protein intake I had to watch what I ate more closely as most things high in protein are high in calories.

    If you're meeting your macronutrient and micronutrient needs it really doesn't matter how many calories you eat as long as you don't go over a caloric deficit (if you're trying to lose weight). I doubt you are though.

    Wooooah wait what?
    4 egg whites= 68cal + 14g of protein
    4oz chicken breast= 120cal + 23g of protein
    Pure protein shake= 120cal + 23g of protein
    Quest protein bar= 160cal + 20g of protein
    1 cup of fat free cottage cheese= 160cal + 30g of protein

    Alright i am done....

    Thanks for the great advice everyone! I guess I should have clarified; I have only been using myfitnesspal for 1 week. I would really like to lose 80 pounds and I was starting my diet based on a strict regiment from a book (eat 1 meat, 1 veg, 1 milk for lunch, etc) but didn't see the actual numbers until I plugged everything in. Thanks again and good health!

    Eat what you want as long as it's not a trigger food for either an intolerance (gluten, dairy, etc) or a binge. I have ice cream or cookies nearly every day and still lose.

    That is a helpful strategy for me and bingeing. Seems like common sense, but some foods, don't trigger, but others (mostly processed) will cause a binge. I try not to even stock it.

    The answer is always dark chocolate. Doesn't matter what the question is. Dark chocolate.
