Hey guys! I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've been eating fairly healthy over the last while but I'm not coming close to eating my alotted caloreis, I even feel hungry but I can't seem to even force myself to eat. It's like i'm only craving white bread products but I know I can't eat those so nothing else looks appealing and I end up not eating!! It's not good I know this but do you guys have any snack ideas that are healthy but also more appealing than Veggies & dip - I can't stand eating raw veggies.

Thanks for your help!

    What's wrong with white bread? Probably should not eat the entire loaf, though. Any food is fine in moderation.

    Please open your diary so we can see what you are eating and where you stand with your goal.

    MFP isn't about trying to eat the fewest possible number of calories. It's about learning to eat at a healthy level for your body - not too much and not too little.

    So you do need to eat all of your base calories and at least half of your exercise calories. Here are some ideas for adding healthy calories:

    Chicken with the skin
    Steak
    Cheese
    Whole eggs (including deviled eggs, egg salad)
    Full fat dairy (including cottage cheese, yogurt)
    Fruit
    Peanut butter or other nut butters
    Nuts
    Avocado
    Dried fruit (raisins, apricots, apples)
    Dark chocolate
    Salmon
    Add Chia seeds to salads or yogurt
    Olive oil
    Smoothies
    Granola/sports nutrition bars
    Whole grains or whole grain products (like brown rice, Quinoa, oatmeal)
    Beans and legumes

    ETA: I don't see anything wrong with eating white bread as long as it fits in your macros.
