I'm always under my calorie goal by quite a bit. I'm also under my carb goal. I guess I was scared off from carbs. I don't want to starve myself, so what would be healthy foods to add to my diet, with or without a good amount of carbs. I was thinking fruits, because I usually only eat veg. The only fruit I like is apple. What else could I add?

    Almonds are a great addition to your meal plan. :)

    Be careful about being too much under your calorie goal. You don't want your body to go into starvation mode because then every little calorie you eat will be stored as fat.

    Do you like nuts? Almonds and walnuts are great choices. I know you said you don't really like fruit - but pomegrantes are wonderful. How about kiwi? They aren't traditional sweet and you may like them. Have you tried frozen fruit? I add frozen blueberries to cottage cheese and it tastes fantastic. The obvious choice for an addition is greek yogurt (everyone seems to be on this kick) - but it does have a tremendous amount of protein. Good luck!

    I noticed you said you are allergic to nuts, do you have the same issues with tree nuts/seeds/soya nuts?
    These can be added to increase safely and you can add them in throughout the day as snacks?

    dont forget pears, berries, (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc) bananas. its easy to toss some sliced fruits into cereal, oatmeal and yogurt.

    its spring time and your product section should be getting in fresh seasonal fruits daily.

    Dont forget citrus, peaches ! plums ! nom nom l love fruits!
