Not Hungry Enough to Eat All My Calories

Help! I am just not hungry enough to eat all my calories a day. I'm only taking in around 1,000 a day and I am suppose to be at 1200. Then I exercise and don't eat back what I exercised off. I can only eat so many veggies a day. My weight is at a stand still. Does anyone have any advice other than eating fillers like pasta and bread?

I would definitely stay away from fillers!
Reach for nuts! Lots of protein, and healthy fat! Will bring up those calories easily.0 -
A good tablespoon of peanut butter will help you out. I find it's a good way to use up the extra calories at the end of the day... and is tasty!0

Unsalted cashews, or almonds are your new best friend!
1/3 of a cup of cashews will put you at 300 calories!0 -
grab some 100 cal snack packs of the things you like for some yummy dessert. i like orville redenbacher's 100 cal kettlecorn0

Dairy products, fruit and/or nuts are a great way to add a couple hundred calories to a day very easily without "fillers".0

Start eating sooner in the day. Eat smaller, more frequent meals and have atleast one "High" calorie meal a day ((Below 500 still))
Always remember to eat after you exercise (At least have of your calories burned)0 -
Try a sliced apple dipped in melted peanut butter (~1TBS).
with your meals Beans (black, pinto, navy, etc...)
Nuts of course.
Some cheese, crackers and wine always makes me smile.0 -
Fruit, nuts, and dairy are calorie-dense foods if you're ever under your calorie intake. Veggies are nutrient-dense low-calorie foods. I don't recommend going anything below 1000 initial calories at the least, because it will eventually affect mental and motor function. It's literally a personal choice to eat them back or not. A lot of people do and advocate it to the Nth degree. Some people don't and will say it's fine.0
