    HI there! some days my calorie count is way down also. I try not to stress about it but try to plan my daily meals at least a day in advanced to that i can try to consume all my calories. I never do because MFP always add the exercise back in LOL. I try to eat the extra exercise calories but feel like i'd be eating just o eat. If I burn 800 calories exercising I really dont want to eat it all back.

    Its all about finding what works best for you. I'd love to give you encouragement add me as a friend if you like ITTYbitty04 :happy:

    Choose to eat 1600-1800 daily and workout 3x a week.
    Do this for 2 months or through the holidays.
    I bet youll lose weight faster than the ups and downs I see on your diary.

    Peanut butter! a tablespoon full is about 150 calories. Or a protein shake. I used to net under 1200 (actually not even net, just eat under 1200) often, it was a bit of a habit and I hit a really long plateau until I upped my calories.

    walnuts are my go to food for those kind of days

    good choice.....except i'm allergic to nuts. best i stay away from them lol

    avocado on toast with tomato and maybe cheese grilled - two pieces of that could net a good 400+ cals and its healthy.

    hummous with toasted pita bread or turkish bread.

    crackers with your choice of topping.

    couple of pieces of dark chocolate.

    fruit smoothie.

    lol i keep thinking nuts because I eat wanuts and brazil nuts every day.

    dried apricots (bit sugary tho)

    ummm..... lol.
