I've been using my fitness pal off and on for a few years now and managed to lose around 80lbs. I recently had a baby and have gotten back on the band wagon to try shred the baby weight. I am having a hard time hitting my calorie goal, it's set at 2,100 calories and my net at the end of the day end up being close to 1,400. Am I not eating enough or are my calories set too high? I feel like I'm eating all day. Any suggestions?

    First question- are you breastfeeding and/or pumping? If so that may be burning a significant amount of calories and you should be sure to account for that.

    If you are having trouble eating enough calories typically high fat foods are the easiest way to incorporate more calories without filling up fast: peanut butter, nuts, and avacados are some common ones, and eat full day diary if you usually choose skim.
