Cannot eat past 1,000cals

ate too much, and i ending up purging the lunch I had (not intentionally) . I do not have an ED, I was only wondering if other people had a similar issue that I had

You do have an eating disorder. Full stop. Purging food after you think you ate a bit too much is extremely unhealthy and maladjusted. You have an eating disorder. There are a lot of people, especially young women, who have unhealthy relationships with food and eating disorders.

The proper thing for you to do is seek the help of a professional who can help you with this.

i can eat a 1000 calories for dinner no problem..

How can it be hard to eat 1000 in a day ..

How can you eat 1000 calories for dinner....

Please, What`s easy for you, may not be as easy for someone else. We`re all different.

Half a medium pizza at Domino's is over 1000 calories already. That's just four slices. That's before the breadsticks and dessert. And before the soda. Three slices of pizza and a beer is 1000 calories.

Heck, a big slice of cake can be 1000 calories. A single serving of cookie dough cheesecake at The Cheescake Factory is over 1100 calories. A large ice cream shake from Coldstone is easily over 1000 calories.

A hamburger and large soda at Five Guys is over 1000 calories. That's before the fries and bacon and barbecue sauce.

I do not eat pizza, fast-food, eat cakes, drink sodas, and especially never drink beer or eat bacon (Im a Muslim). Maybe that`s why I cannot eat much calories in one-serving! But thanks for making it easier to understand

you dont need beer and bacon to fill 1000 calories. Try dividing up 1000 calories into 5 smaller meals if you have trouble. or you can eat some really calorie dense foods like macadamia nuts, coconut oil, cheese, eggs, avocados..etc.

Really? A little rice and some cereal and milk was 'too much' for lunch and made you upchuck? :huh:

u look great enjoy! when the time is right your body will naturally ask for more u are only 18:) enjoy the summer!

I don't understand how you can calculate calories from a Five Guys burger before bacon..... :noway: The bacon should be factored in before the soda. Duh. If you don't have enough calories for both you ALWAYS GO FOR THE BACON.

You only have the ability to eat 1000 or less calories, but yet you want to lose 20lbs? Those pictures don't match. Maybe talk to a mental health professional and start to find a better relationship with food and your body.

Could be a troll tread, could not be. Nevertheless, there is a possibly that you have an eating disorder, which is why I assume it could be one of the reasons one would post such tread.

Calorie dense foods would be your best friend. Example: Nuts, seeds, fatty fish (salmon), peanut butter, ect. You could also try to drink your calories in the form of full fat milk/dairy products.

When you restrict calories for a long period of time, your leptin levels decrease and you will also not feel hungry. It doesn't mean that you shouldn't eat. Leptin hormones play a key role in regulating energy intake and expenditure, including appetite and hunger.

More importantly, how do you feel? How is your energy on a day to day basis?

I understand that you want to make lifestyle changes and change the type of foods that you eat as well, meaning cutting out fast food, ect. However, at some point, you consumed more than what your body could use, giving you the reason to want/need to reduce your weight.

Also, with only 20 lbs to lose, you should only expect and aim for .5 lb weight loss per week.

I read what you said about not eating pork, I don't eat pork either....but maybe try something like nuts ,almonds ,etc...they are easy to eat and add on the calories you need...I know it's hard and scary to think about eating even more, when you don't feel hungry, but I promise you that if you continue , your body will rebel sooner or later...so maybe try to slowly increase calories so you don't have to go through what I went through...

Not sure if anyone said this but maybe start eating some meals with your friends. Go out for dinner, make food together, have a big picnic. Maybe making food an enjoyable experience is part of the trick. Don't look at food as a chore but a social activity that brings your friends/family and you together.

Can't or don't want to?

Can`t and don`t want to, because i don`t feel hungry - especially after drinking tons of water. I tried to take advice from people, and i loved it. I got a little carried away today, ate too much, and i ending up purging the lunch I had (not intentionally) . I do not have an ED, I was only wondering if other people had a similar issue that I had

1c Cereal and 1c rice was too much for you at lunch and caused you to vomit? HMMMMMM bless your heart I hope you can understand what this sounds like to us. Generally those who do have the issues have either an actual physiological disease and you need to see a doctor or it is an eating disorder and you need to see a doctor.

I'm sure it's been said but I'm not looking through the thread. More olive oil (adds up fast) when you cook your food. An extra protein shake. Are you losing? If so, how did you get to this place in the first place? Can't be from "eating too little".

There's this really cool thing that hospitals do, it's called sticking a tube down your throat to make you eat. I've had to have it done. It really is a great experience.

edit : it's also put on your doctors report, so next time you go to a job interview and they ask to see you medical report prepare for a few looks, lol.

OP if you feel that you are over eating and then have to purge at such a low calorie intake then you can safely say you have an eating disorder.

Drinking water is good, but not if it takes away the ability to eat food.

seriously, looking at your profile pics and taking your age into account, my opinion is that 20lbs lost on top of your frame would not be a good look, neither would you feel healthy.

If you are unhappy with your body shape (which looks great in your pics) why not try adding some more calories and introducing some body toning/lifting weights.

If I was struggling to eat 1000 cals a day I really would seek some advice from a doctor/eating specialist. or even just find a forum for help with ED`s

Hi Everyone!

I cannot seem to eat past 1000 or so calories, I`ve heard of the `1200 calories` myth and it`s really taken a toll on me. I drink so much water a day (compared to before, which was sometimes once in 2 days), now i drink about 10 glasses of water a day.

I try eating cereal, fruits, and occasionally chicken, or rice, but they never add up and I know I`m not eating enough.

I would consider changing if it`s counterproductive to my weight-loss goals (I`d like to lose 20lbs!) but I`m willing to keep it unchanging If it wont pose as much as a problem as people tell me it will.

Any advice would be appreciated! thanks!

The more you work out, the more hungry you feel, the better you will look, and the more you will have to eat to support that muscle and energy depletion. I can not feel hungry if I'm just sitting or studying on 1100 a day. But, if I get active, watch out. If you don't feel that hungry, but want to bump calories at some point, nuts or cheese are a great treat to do that without eating "unhealthy" foods. Also keep in mind that your body needs those healthy fats "MUFAs", or monounsaturated fatty acids. The app shows a pie chart that helps you make sure you are eating a good balance of macros, meaning enough protein, fats, and carbs. I'm a carb lover and could live on it...but I feel SO much better now that I'm bumping my protein and healthy fats and letting carbs just fill in the gaps. Strong is the new sexy, but you have to feel muscle.

This gives you an idea of what you should be eating ~> http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/912920-in-place-of-a-road-map-3-2013

You are destroying your metabolism & starving yourself. Please seek medical or mental help. It is a distinct possibility (!!!) you have an eating disorder.
