    Your body goes into starvation mode within 48-72 hrs.

    Hi There,

    Can you make your diary public/unlocked? It's hard to make suggestions without an idea of what you're currently eating :)

    Calorie dense foods are where it's at, add a smoothie to bulk up your meals. On mornings that I work out I start with a 250-ish calorie smoothie with protein powder, almond milk, coffee, peanut butter & coconut oil. Gives me the energy I need for my workouts and then I go about my day as usual, with maybe an extra treat in the evening if I worked out extra hard.
