    It depends. How many calories are you eating a day?

    MFPs recommendations for fat and protein are pretty wierd. It allows way more fat and less protein than experts suggest. I adjusted my calorie balance manually according to the nutritional suggestions of the Cleveland Clinic (as they are leaders in cardiac health).

    It is OK if you aren't eating enough calories, as long as you are consuming at least 1200 per day.

    Nutritionists say that if you are not eating a minimum of 1100-1200 calories a day you are not getting all the nutrients you need. Additionally if you do not eat enough calories your body will begin storing as much fat as it can vs burning it.

    I feel the same I find it hard to make up the 1200 calories a day especially if i exercise aswel but i feel eating loads? Im eating healthy foods like salads and tuna a fruit and veg and chicken and also find my protein is -20ish but find protein foods keep me fuller for longer? Any tips to increase calorie intake without eating junk food?? :)
