Who else has trouble eating the amount of food a day to reach your calorie goal...some days.. A lot of days I struggle to eat that much and still have a productive workout

    The best thing to do is plan your meals ahead of time. This will help you manage your calories and prevent you from over and under eating

    nobody gets fat by eating too little ;)

    make sure you are WEIGHING all your food.you may be eating more than you think you are.

    If you are having trouble eating the volume of food to reach your daily goal intake, eat higher calorie food, but, less volume.

    No I'm having a problem with eating 4 to 5 meals a day.
    I'm used to eating 2 to 3 times a day

    You don't need to eat 4 to 5 times a day. Meal frequency has nothing to do with weight loss. Calorie deficit is what is important.

    Why did you stop eating 2-3 times a day? Just add extra portions to your meals or eat high calorie low volume food (nuts, cheeses, oils, sugary creamy treats)

    I understand all that but according to this app I need to eat 1500 calories a day and I burn around 600 a day at the gym

    And it's really hard for me to fit that in without feeling like I'm spending way to much money and just eating to just eat

    It seems to me that you've made your mind and you really don't want to meet the suggested calorie goals.

    If you lose at a rate you're comfortable with then continue on with what you're doing.
