    i eat 1000-1300 cals a day and i find it hard to even add up to that much at times! - sometimes i wonder what people eat who go over 2000 cals etc..

    Fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, starches....the usual. Just bigger portions.

    I see. I couldnd't do that, I'd be stuffed & i'd get tummy aches if I ate loads. Sugar makes me gain weight, I'm trying to get rid of my addiction!

    Well I certainly don't eat until my stomach hurts. I just don't have a problem putting down 6-7 ounces of meat, 100+ grams of veg, and 100+ grams of rice/pasta/potato at a time (with cheese and condiments as needed) and maybe some bread. This doesn't make for a large meal at all (I've taken pictures), just perhaps a calorie dense one.

    ...No comment on the sugar thing

    Yes. Easy. Glad I'm not a hummingbird who can barely eat 1200.

    The same thing you ate when you gained the weight, I guess.

    1200 is not enough, unless you are sedentary and have a small frame. And no muscle.

    So maybe your goal should be to be more active, gain muscle and consequently eat more.

    Exactly, I eat like 6 times a day and still eat around the 1200-1400 kcal a day.

    I am loving the bacon pics! :drinker:

    It's easy to eat more than 1200 in a "healthy" way. Avocados, nut butters, cheese, nuts, dried fruit, etc.
