    I didn't read the ENTIRE thread, but snacking little bits helps, and over time you will probably find that your metabolism will increase and you will feel hungry sooner. When I first started I noticed after a little while I was hungry every two hours or so.

    try eating these early in the day. Breakfast or lunch. they will give you plenty of energy and you will get your vitamins :-)
    Fruits - apple, orange, pineapple, banana, pears - etc
    oatmeal - 1 cup is 300 calories - put some honey or agave to sweeten will add a few more calories
    Sweet potato's
    Nuts - cashews, almonds, sunflower seeds etc

    healthy alternatives and will help you up your calorie intake

    Thanks James ! Amazing progress by the way! You look great

    Man, The more I work out the harder it is to meet my calorie requirements. If I do a ten km run I'm supposed to eat 3000 calories (and that's with a 1000 calorie defecit.) I'm only making it to about 1900. yeah right am I going to eat 3000 freaking calories! I eat so many nuts it's nuts. I added a protein shake to breakfast. I eat snacks!
