I have hit a plateau! I have lost 50lbs so far and I know I'm not losing anymore because I am not eating enough!!! (although I am gaining a lot of muscle) My goal is about 1600 calories according to MFP and I try my best to net at least 1400 calories a day but when I workout I GO HARD (700-1200 calorie burn) and am having an impossible time eating back my calories and end up netting about 500-800. I’m simply not hungry enough to do it.
I NEED suggestions!!! I don’t know what to eat, I already have a protein shake every day. Many people have said peanut butter but I don’t care much for it, so…high calories, fibre and protein and low fat low carb, low sugar in a small serving….HELP!!
Thanks
…and feel free to add me, I don’t have many friends on here, I also have befor/after pictures on my profile.

You look great!
I say go for avocado and nuts - you said low fat, but good fats are CRUCIAL to your body's ability to work properly.If I'm low on cals, sometimes I make a small batch of guacamole!

Eat fat.
Fat has calories.
Fat is not bad for you unless you have a gall bladder problem. If you believe otherwise, educate yourself.
Fat helps you feel full and gives you energy.
That is all.0 -
