Add a whole wheat roll with butter to your dinner, some fruit and a glass of milk to breakfast and bulk up your snacks- like try crackers and cheese, or nuts, or something healthy, but high calorie. You're really not eating enough, especially if you're exercising too.

Well you are making great choices but what about some tuna mixed with mayo, cheese, and relish with some crackers for a snack. What about adding some granola to the yogurt, String cheese, cottage cheese, 4oz. baked chicken breast. Sometimes you need to choose items that is good for you and also have the calories.

LOL!!! I see so many go through this and so did I, LOL!! You are fine, just eat a handful of almonds or walnuts here and there during the day Something high calorie, healthy but not too bulky so you don't feel like you're filling your tummy to "stuffed":happy: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Also, you can up your calories during any meal by eating a higher calorie food. No big deal, you can do it

Add a banana to your oatmeal (120 calories)
Add granola to the yogurt (about 100 calories)
Add a small salad with olive oil/salad dressing to lunch (about 120 calories)
Have some peanut butter with your apple (1 tablespoon 100 calories)

Or skip the salad and have 2 tablespoons of peanut butter with your apple.

that adds about 400 calories to your day which takes you up to the 1200 and makes up for your burned exercise calories.

It also adds some fruit, veggies, protien and essential fats into your nutritional profile.

Someone on here recommended this and i tried it last night its soo amazing and will probably help with TTOM and calories. Add a tablespoon of peanut butter to hot cocoa. Make it with full fat milk and that adds even more. I make mine with real cocoa and vanilla its very rich and satisfying and can help your calories add up.

Add a hanful of almonds or toast with peanut butter ( one of my favorite snacks) or an oz of full fat cheese.

You could add peanut butter or nuts and dried fruit to your oatmeal also.

Peanut butter, almonds, cheese, hommus, whole wheat crackers (like triscuts or wheat thins), Whole wheat pasta, any kind of whole grain breads.

Man there's so many things I can't even think of any.

NWCountryGal

LOL, metoo I think I came into this thinking I had to be so careful to eat "low calorie" everything. Now I eat no low cal and just try for all nutrients(5 food groups)and in portions measured in accordance with my caloric needs:)

After looking at what you ate it seems your not eating enough fruits and vegetables..try having fruit with breakfast and fruits or veggies with every snack..you may be able to get more calories that way. Some other good ideas are peanut butter ,hummus and nuts and legumes.

Hey, quit bragging. :laugh: No probs over here eating that's for sure. The more you eat, the better you'll lose if you're active and make wise choices-which you seem to be!

Add some fruits and veggies. Drink a V8. You definitely need more of that in your diet.

Add a small amount of nuts to your breakfast or sometime during the day. That'll add up fast.
