I pray to god to have this problem on a cut. All I need is the month before summer!!!
Yes, I need this problem in my life lolIs saving up the deficit during the week and then going hard in the weekend a valid option. Eat as much of a hot dog stuffed Doritos crust BBQ meat lovers with double topping. Job done?
This is actually pretty interesting. If you tend to have a huge meal once or twice a week, can use the "saved" calories for that0 -
Are you a newbie? Make the most of it! Don't eat below 1200 calories a day but appreciate it and the weight loss because chances are is that it won't stay that way!0

I eat lean protien..low fat. And yes I obviously had no.problem consuming 1600 before watching my intake and not giving it a second thought. Maybe I'm just too cautious now and need to add a "normal" meal in. It's difficult because I work very long days. Thanks for those who left constructive advice0

Nutbutters.
Ice cream.
Cheese.
Chocolate.
Fudge.
Carrot cake.
Banana cake/bread.
Nuts.
Raisins.
Milk.
Cream.
Oils.
All play a part in my dietary intake whilst eating at a deficit, including heavy cuts.0 -
ICECREAM!!!!
Also, eat fat!!0 -
Nothing nuts can't fix! They're portable, easy to munch on whenever the urge hits, and are rich in calories. Alternatively, save your extra calories for a higher calorie meal you've been craving like another poster mentioned. I go with weekly calories so I can promise you, you will still lose.0

How is your weight loss going? If you're not losing consistently with<1600, then yoe eating more than you think.

It's probably a mental thing. You can eat more than 1600 calories or you wouldn't be here trying to lose weight.
7 months ago, that was me. Mentally couldn't do it but then once I snapped out of it, I realized I could eat that and probably more (and did) and still lost.
If you truly feel you can't eat it; you may be overeating and not realize you are.
I know it's hard to think about, but if you're here trying to lose weight; you can eat 1600 calories.0 -

It's true that the "cleaner" I eat and the more thought I put into meal planning, I get a lot more food and 1600 seems like a lot, but then I go to the freezer and grab some Ben & Jerry's and/or Talenti and ~300 calories is gone like that.0 -
Let me sing you the song of my people:

So long as you're getting in good, nutrient-dense foods, there's no reason why you cannot have ice cream, peanut butter, whatever you love, to make up the rest.0 -

Try adjusting your "activity level" in your profile. It may not suit your life style.0 -

No point eating more if you're satisfied and happy.0

Extreme example or just a suggestion? Like the OP can have her version of a higher calorie meal - maybe a decadent visit to a restaurant - once or twice a week to make up the difference0
