I was thinking of trying multi vitamins until i gradually up my intake? never tried avocado before, whats it take like?

Creamy, almost like a combination of a fruit and vegetable... In Morocco they would make a milkshake from it, jus d'avocat, that was avocado and milk and sugar. Not something to eat every day, but it was oh so good.

If you've never had avocado, maybe start by putting a couple of slices on a salad, or making some fresh guacamole!

Yeah i head guacamole is nice! my sister, a veggie, loves it. What could i use to dip into it as i dont like celery, carrots bore me too quickly and mixing apple with savory makes me cringy

i would go with a natural cheese though instead of processed.

??????????

ALL cheese is processed. It doesn't grow out of the ground that way......:huh:

Relax, Bluemorpho. You don't have to follow all these rules.

Aim at 1250-1500 calories every day. Eat foods you like. Ignore crazy rules that cut out major food groups or are difficult or non-tasty to follow. Indulge often enough that you don't go bonkers.

Eat some bread. Even if you prefer the bleached white Wonder bread. I promise it's OK.

And most of all, relax.

so a healthier peanut butter? Just not sure what with as bread should be avoided?

If you want to avoid bread, just try the peanut butter with a sliced apple. It tastes really good.

About the nuts: go for whatever you like more, I really enjoy almonds and cashews for ex. Cheese has so many possibilities with very low carb content, but if you don't like it, just go for something different.

Greek yogurt is, again, a good suggestion - go for the higher fat content.

Add some olive oil to your salads - it brings very healthy fats to your diet and helps you up the calories.

I really think that upping those calories is a good idea. Strive to never go under 1200 cals/day.

Thanks. When i did i gained 3lbs, and my fat % of body went up 10% !

A really yummy peanut butter is from Trader Joes "BETTER N' PEANUT BUTTER" , only 85 cals per 2 tbl spoon.. Healthy and very creamy!

Forgot to mention, Orowheat Double Fiber Whole Wheat bread is very good, and low cals too.

It seems to definitely be the calories, ill try the 1200 minimum and see how it goes with that.
