So, as it stands for the day in order to not achieve a deficit and lose anymore weight including the precious muscle that I work and pump and and so lovingly try to build I am supposed to eat almost 2200 calories . . . and really if you take my calculated BMR into consideration it should be 2400 calories. Um . . . how do I do that? I know how to do it by filling up with wine and ice cream, but other than that . . . how do I do that? (open diary btw)

    I've had some peantnut butter and cheese today. I must limit anything with wheat or soy, but I don't worry about cross contaminiation or trace amounts (but that means no pasta and limits the protein suppliments I can take)

    Instead of steaming any veggies, have some sauteed in olive oil, start using real cheese instead of fat free, add in some greek yogurt, maybe have a glass f milk with lunch or dinner. I hear you. On days I run and 30DS, I burn 500-600 calories, and I have a harder time finding healthy ways to add in calories.

    What about brown rice / brown rice pasta? Quinoa? Do you live near a Trader Joe's? They have some healthy and delicious cereals and trail mixes that are high calorie.
