Tough month! :(

Things like peanut butter or any kind of nuts are pretty calorie dense. If you eat a handful or two of those, you get a few hundred reasonably healthy calories without having to fill your stomach too much. They're also great as snacks because they don't spoil in a ziploc or tupperware.

Thanks!

I may do peanuts instead of peanutbutter due to the high sugar content in peanut butter.

I have salmon every day for lunch, but only a small portion, I split a peice into half and eat one each day. Maybe I should just eat the whole thing. it's only about 2-3 ounces ( the halves) So would 6 oz of salmon be too much as my main protien?

6 oz would be a good portion size, especially if you are working out on a regular basis. I am so glad to hear that you recognized a problem and are willing to fix it! You are doing a great job, keep it up! Oh, and a good way to add a few calories without adding sugar is maybe make an olive oil based sauce for your salmon, contains the "good" fats that your body needs! 1 tablespoon will do the trick!

For the peanut butter, Smuckers has a peanut butter made from only peanuts. No sugar.

As for the salmon, eat the whole portion. You are not eating enough calories anyway. Salmon has very little calories compared to other meats. I look at my calories and determine what and how much I can eat at each meal. Some days I do not eat 1200 calories either. But then there are days when I feel I need to eat more. Listen to your body.

If you continue to only eat 800-900 calories, your body will show it. Please don't get into starvation mode. It is so easy to slip into that mode when you have been overweight. I had 65 pounds to lose. Lost 28 pounds so far. When I eat less than 1200 calories, my metabolism slows down to conserve energy - which equals less weight loss.

You seem to know how to eat healthy; just afraid of eating too much and the wrong kinds of food. Just remember the food groups. You need fruits, vegetables, meats & fish, breads, dairy in your diet. Read labels and make sure you are getting the healthiest of these food groups. Natural sugars - such as what is in fruits - are not the same as processed sugars.

Since you are not eating enough, you also need a good multivitamin. I also take biotin for my hair, B12, and of course calcium and vitamin D. Check with your local health food store - and your Dr. - he can keep a check on your health.

800 calories! So little! I think what you really need to focus on is getting the eating habits under control. You know that's not enough, so slowly try to up it to something above 1200. Your weight may fluctuate some, but it'll stabilize as your body remembers what it's like to actually get enough fuel. Hopefully the hair loss was a wake-up call! Scary! Adding more calorie-dense foods like nuts is a great start. Please take care of your health - who wants to be thin but sickly? Best of luck to you

Why don't you try healthy shakes. Eating is not your enemy. It's all about what kind of foods you put into you mouth. If you eat fast food all the time then that's bad, but if you eat healthy snacks like fruit then you're fine.
