here lately my appetite has been decreasing more and more in the day time....im finding it harder to consume my 1200 cals per day....i plan my meals/snacks out so i can eat at diff intervals, but it seems im just not hungry that much anymore...my energy levels are about the same, i dont lack it when it comes time to work out, but it is getting rougher to manage my foods....any advice?

    I'd be interested to see replies to this.
    I'm exercising every day so obviously adding calories on but I'm still 800 under today and it's almost 8pm.
    I'll make sure I get over the 1200 but will have to force myself if I'm to get to the lot.

    I would find a good protein shake to add in --- you can find a good one that will give you about 300 or so extra calories, drink it after working out it will not only up your calories, but it will help your muscles recover faster.

    The more "clean" and healthy food you eat the more you need to eat so I would suggest adding in a few more "calorific" items such as unsalted nuts, avacado, or natural peanut butter. I have at least one of these items each day as I have completely transitioned to a very "back to the basics" outlook with all our food.

    You should also try to live by the following to get in your daily calories:
    Eat breakfast like a king,
    lunch like a prince,
    and dinner like a pauper

    Good luck!
