I have the unfortunate problem of not eating enough for the amount of working out I do. I have tried but Just can't seem to get hungry enough to physically eat/drink those cals! I need some good options and ideas that have worked successfully. Thank you so much!

    You don't have to eat more quantity of food, just make different food choices that are more calorie dense. This would include foods such as nuts, seeds, dehydrated fruit. You can replace 1 glass of water for 1 glass of juice. Add olive oil to soups and sauces. Add avocado to salads and sandwiches. Eat/drink higher fat versions of the foods you already eat such as milk, yogurt, cheese, salad dressing, etc. But nut butters on your menu, eat them with fruit or add to a smoothie.

    Thanks for the advice! Its hard mentally for me when trying to lose weight to add higher fat/ higher calorie options, but I pretty much know that i have to do it, otherwise my weightloss just seems soooo SLOW.
