    You're not eating enough for sure and your protein is WAY low.

    First thing I noticed as well. Need WAY more protein! Even gastric bypass patients get a minimum of 80 gm a day, regardless of weight or height or body type.

    More protein, more veggies and try to measure everything on the scale (like for example cereal always measure on the scale and not by cup). Also eat back around 50% of your exercise calories at least.

    How are you eating more than you used to at only 1,000 calories a day? Confused ...

    How much weight have you gained? A few lbs is probably just water weight from starting to exercise...it should come off.

    I used to only eat once a day with some snacks and soda...i defiantly used to eat worse then I am now too. So it is a lot more food than I am used to enjesting. Feels like I am eating all day long.
    I did start working out more so I am hoping that is the reason I am gaining?
    Thanks for the help!
