How bout eating more healthy snacks? And who recommended a 1200-cal diet to you?0
-
You could try making shakes (Like banana and strawberry or something) to add in calories0
-
Maybe add some oatmeal to your breakfast and add some nut butters to your apples or bananas0
-
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.0

maybe fp figured that out when I joined ?? Still fairly new here gosh if I am having a hard time with 1200 cals it would be harder with more cals I have shakes on some days but still missin something so afraid to gain rather than loose.0

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:

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.0

Switch from "diet" bread to regular whole grain bread, replace the non-fat yogurt with regular yogurt will give you a good start.0

And there's always Nutella!0 -
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.0

Peanut butter.0

^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.0 -
Yes I had never tried them before and a friend gave me 1 and they weren't my thing so 1 it was lol0

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...0 -

Do you like guacamole? You eat it with chips. I bake corn tortillas to make chips. They're very good.0 -
How about some ice cream?0
