How do I stabilize???

Hi y'all,

After about two month I've lost nearly 14 kgs (started MFP later, so ticker's off) and I'm beginning to reach the end of my quest. I know, I didn't have much of a problem to start with, but if I would've continued the way I was going nt only that problem but I myself would be way bigger, so thank you MFP!!! No wishes left? Of course: I want to buff up a little more, lose the last bit of fat and get that 6-pack out!! However, I have more than enough time to progress on those parts. The baggage is off!!

Magic weapons have been dairy products (milk, low-fat cheese, eggs), loads of fruits and fresh vegetables, lean meat (steak, tartar)and fish (salmon and tuna), rationing the amounts of rice, potatoes and pasta (150 gr of cooked product), going for incredibly low-everything tomatosauce (I LOVE tomatosauce) and I´ve been eating loads of not just whole-wheat bread, but the brownest whole-grain bread I could find. Also, every dinner had a cucumber-tomato side salad. O yeah, and I NEVER drink calories (tea, coffee, water and zero-to-low calorie drinks).

By now, I´ve got a new problem in that I don´t know how to stop this. I´ve totally changed (the amounts of) what I eat and what I look for in eating (low calorie, high protein) and I like this so much that I don´t know what to do to stabilize. I´ve upped my calorie-goal from around 1600 to 1860, but I´m having a hard time filling it up!!

Should I just eat more? I´m pretty stuffed at the end of the day, so I don´t see how? Should I snack more? Please let me know!!

Just eat more calorie dense foods. Add avocado to salads and sandwiches. Switch one glass of water for juice, change from skim to 1% milk. Eat full fat versions of food you are currently eating such as mayo, cottage cheese, sour cream, salad dressings etc. Add olive oil to sauces and soups, take a handful of nuts or seeds. Eat nut butters with fruit or in place of lower calories spreads. All of these will increase your caloric intake without increasing the amount of food you are eating.

Thanks, I'll replace some of the low-fat versions with heavier ones and the idea of adding more seeds and nuts is a great one. I tend to add lineseed to my low-fat cheese, but cashews and stuff are a nice place to go, as well as re-introducing peanut butter to the diet. Let's see what this does...
