I can not eat my exercise calories. I try! I seem to earn 700-900 calories each time I go to the gym and I can not eat them all. I am still losing but I have a lot to lose.

    two ounces of cheese and a serving of peanut butter is just over 400 calories...can you eat that much? I could in about a minute...protein and healthy fat...now EAT!

    I agree that you should try some peanut butter! It's great on a slice of wheat bread and it's good protein! :happy:

    What kind of workouts are you doing to burn that many calories? And are you following the number on the machines or are you wearing a chest-strap heart rate monitor? It is very possible to burn that many calories, but I agree that sometimes eating that much is overwhelming. Have you ever considered protein shakes? They're a good way to keep your calories up, get a healthy dose of protein, but not feel TOO full. Whey protein is a great supplement, and you'll be able to hit your calories more easily.
