Can't do it

My calorie intake is set at 1540 per day. But for the life of me. I CANT DO IT!!! I can't eat that many calories a day. I feel so guilty if I do. Should I go ahead and decrease my daily intake. I can barely make it over 1200 a day. It's not that I try, but I run out of food, or there isn't enough. But, I just can't eat that much a day. :ohwell:

If the site is telling you to eat the calories, eat the calories. Seriously. Start doing things like drizzling your salads with full fat dressing. It took me some getting used to too, but it does help.0

I'm up to 1690 w/o exercise and it was so hard at first.
My body got use to the idea of eating more and so will you.
Give it time.

:ohwell: But isn't that why I am here... because I was eating too much, and gained the weight.0

This site isn't telling you to eat without thinking about what you're putting in your mouth.
You need the food for energy and energy so you can exercise...

I don't know exactly how much you were eating before I know it is extremely easy to eat 1000 calories over when your alotted amount when you aren't tracking it. Plus if you eat too little it will slow down your metabolism and it will be hard to ever eat normal amounts. Trust the site for a few weeks and see where it takes you. If it doesn't work than you may need to fine tune it a bit but for the most part you see success stories with following this site.0
