    If you're struggling with calories, why not add in protein shakes or meal replacement on top of your normal eating?

    I wouldn't weigh yourself morning and night, you will be heavier at night (all the food and water consumed adds weight)

    Two things:
    1. plan ahead. space out food throughout the day so you don't come up short
    2. use a TDEE-based approach rather than exercise calories approach, which should smooth out your intake from day to day

    I second this!

    I was having the same problem and felt I was force feeding myself on exercise days and then on rest days I was struggling to not go over. But since I switched to the TDEE method, I no longer have that issue.

    Think you've got lots of good advice there. But just wanted to add- how downright rude, all those spare calories and you don't even offer them round! :wink:

    Drink half a pint of olive oil...

    Easy to eat the calories you'e burning, just expensive. Might be easier to cut back on the cardio than increase your fuel

    just plain olive oil???? ughhhh I like olive oil but I am not going to sit around guzzling it at night....

    Man up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttC7KbE_uDo

    Stop thinking you can only eat non-calorie dense food. A generous peanut butter and jelly sandwich mid-morning and mid-afternoon will add 1,000 calories to your day.

    Just be sure you really are burning all those calories first.

    Crap. A PB and Nutella on some thick bread is an easy 600-700 calories. A cup of peanuts is like 800 calories too. It's extremely easy to pack on the calories if needed.

    I ended up my day weighing heavier than in the AM

    of course you did... that is completely normal and nothing to do with your weight loss... why would you weigh yourself morning and night?

    Yeah...it amazes me that comments like this come up every day. You ATE all day, drank water, that stuff doesn't digest immediately...if you don't weigh more at the end of the day something is probably wrong with you. As far as eating your calories, I'd eat dessert, pizza, whatever! Or a couple handfuls of nuts, some nut butter, and you're set.

    Are you using the myfitnesspal calorie calculator? I've found that to be pretty inaccurate, and confusing to navigate. Try this tool, it has helped me a lot. Just put in your body type and activity level and it will give a recommended caloric intake based on what your goals are. I think the ideal is to average that number of calories per day over the course of a week, so each day does not need to be perfect. http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

    save it for a cheat day

    Do such thing like "saving" calories exist?
    Isn´t everyday a new slate?

    Nope -- especially if you are monitoring weekly or monthly. There are systems based around spiking calories and such. Some days I eat 1,200 ish calories, others 2,000. So long as I consume 3,500 less that I burned in say, a week's time, I lose a pound.

    Did you just call what I said 'crap', and then more or less repeat it exactly?

    If you're trying to save your calories for more than a day or two, wrap them tightly, place in an airtight container, and keep them in the coldest part of the refrigerator. They should keep for about 5 days. Longer in the freezer.

    I won't save them for more than 3 days, myself

    I'm with you here. The zig-zagging thing really worked for me while I was losing. Now I'm trying to come up with guidelines for maintaining that won't require daily logging... This is proving to be a challenge.
