    Can you add more snacks in between meals, or add more protein to your menu?

    You are not eating enough. Also, try adding more protein.

    Eat more. You're 18 for christs sake. You're in the final stages of growth and your body will suffer later if you deprive it now.

    Quick look at your diary tells me if you made better food choices you wouldn't be so hungry. Opt for more filling choices, especially high fiber ones.

    Also, going over by less than 100 doesn't even matter. The goal is to meet your calories, not be under.

    And, you are only 18. Really you should be eating more anyways.

    Sorry for the responses on here that may be rude. I hope this doesn't turn you off of this site.

    As others have said, you really should eat more cals, hon. You should be eating at your BMR or above.

    Try using this calc:
    http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

    It will tell you how many calories you should be eating per day. :)

    Please add me or message if you need more help.

    Best of luck to you!

    for starters: eat more.
    mfp is about learning to balance your diet/exercise routine, not developing eating disorders.
