How many calories do you generally consume in one day?

I'm 5'9 and 114 lbs. with a BMI of 16.8. Technically, that is considered underweight. I've always been thin and I figured I just was one of those people who could eat anything without gaining weight. Then I realized I'm not actually eating as much as I thought and I did not process all the calories I burn from working out. My Fitness Pal recommends I eat 1900 calories a day. It's 7 in the evening here and I've barely consumed 600 calories minus my afternoon run. I still have to eat dinner so that will probably push my calories to 900-1000ish but that's it. So, how many calories do you consume in one day?

Have you thought about seeing a dietician for advice? They would be able to help you with tailoring a plan to meet your calorie needs. You should definitely be eating more. If volume is a problem (some people are just small eaters), go for nutrient and calorie dense stuff like nuts, nut butters, avocados, full fat dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt).0
