    You could try making shakes (Like banana and strawberry or something) to add in calories

    Maybe add some oatmeal to your breakfast and add some nut butters to your apples or bananas

    Try adding more healthy fats. Avocado,Almonds,coconut oil...So on. They are good for you and also high in calories to help you reach your calorie intake goals.

    Change your bread to a yummy nutty one. My bread is 130 cal a slice and so delicious. Add salad dressing and avacados, eat chcolate covered almonds 200 cals an ounce, peanut butter on apples. I could go on and on. Alcohol:drinker:

    Eat More and Move More to Lose More.:wink:

    OK, are you sure you only ate one-tenth of an ounce of banana chips? Because that's about one and I can never eat just one. I am only focusing on this because I wonder if you are logging your food accurately.

    Switch from "diet" bread to regular whole grain bread, replace the non-fat yogurt with regular yogurt will give you a good start.

    Add some healthy fats like avocado and nuts. Some dairy would be good too. And if you are on 1200 calories a day I would recommend eating your exercise calories back.

    ^This.

    Your diary for Monday is ok. And it's above the 1200. Your diary for Tuesday appears very low in intake for breakfast & lunch. Eat more early if you're struggling through the day.

    Nuts help. A little nut butter here and there is okay too. I often have nuts with breakfast or for a snack. Avocados are also great for healthy fats and will add calories.

    Do you normally eat this way or just when you are trying to lose weight? What are some things you have given up since watching your calories? You might not have to give up everything you think you have to...

    Do you like guacamole? You eat it with chips. I bake corn tortillas to make chips. They're very good.
