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".0

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.0 -
If I only eat until I am full I only clock about 700 cals in a day but I have been making an effort by adding calorific foods to bring me closer to an acceptable number, my new fave is almond butter - it is gorgeous! Even though we get in similar amounts the variety and quality of the food I get in looks much better, you need to try to get a good variety of foods to make sure you are getting all the nutrients your body needs.0

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`s0 -
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.

Yup, I have to agree 150% with this as well. Go see a doctor. You desperately need to see one. Now. Today.0 -
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.0 -
If you are serious about not being able to eat even 1200 calories, you need a therapist. You have a potentially deadly eating disorder and a very unhealhy attitude about food. Please get some professional help before you wind up on a slab in the morgue.0

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.0 -
Get a lot of healthy fats in. Fatty fish, marbled beef, avocado, nuts and nut butters, chicken thighs, and olive oil when you cook. It will rack up some more fuel very quickly. For someone your age and size you are not eating anywhere near enough.0

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.
Its actually 20 kgs on her profile!0 -
If you undereat you stop being hungry, but that doesn't mean you don't need the calories. Increase them gradually. Either eat more often or find ways to increase the caloric density of your meals.
It is very bad for your health to eat so low and you're likely sacrificing a lot of muscle in the process.
This!! Many people say, "I can't eat any more, I'm not hungry." What they don't realize is that after a little while of undereating, your body gets smart and stops sending the hunger signal. So even though you don't "feel" hungry, your body could still be starving. Stop eating diet foods, eat things like full-fat dairy products, nuts and nut butters, avocados, eggs, etc. Maybe add some people as friends here on MFP and look at their diaries for ideas. You're more than welcome to add me.
Just start with gradual increases... tomorrow, instead of a banana for lunch, try a banana and some greek yogurt... the next day, try adding in some meat, etc. You'll get there.0 -

Oh wow, just saw this. Yes please please please go to a doctor. Throwing up after a minimal lunch is not normal. Something is wrong.0 -
I cannot seem to eat past 1000 or so calories
I assume you're looking for weight-gain strategies then, yes?
Because if you can't eat more than 1000 calories a day then there's no possible way you're overweight.
Right on! OP- here you say you "cannot seem to eat past 1000" calories. On May 12th you wrote "Ate too much today...Never again..." after eating 935 calories!!! Get a grip and deiced if you are going to be kind to your body and be healthy or not!0 -
Hahaha this exactly!!0 -

Actually, if she had thyroid disease she could be overweight. Not being a snot. Just sayin'...
I vote for a trip to the doc, myself. If you can't eat or keep food down and you don't have an ED, there could be a serious issue. My cousin passed a few months ago from a stomach disease. It was horrible. Don't let that happen to you, OP.0 -
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....
