Not getting enough calories

I have started eating at home instead of eating take out all the time and started tracking what I'm eating and I'm not getting enough calories. I am averaging barely over a thousand a day. I don't feel hungry or not satisfied but the diary keeps warning me that I'm consuming too few calories. One day I have all my fat but not enough protein, another I have barely any fat but over on my protein. This is getting difficult. Any tips on how to balance this?

I'm averaging this, too. So I recently started eating a few slices of sargento naturals cheese (60-70 cals a slice), and it usually takes me to where I need to be. I really love it, and it's low carb and actually really filling for being "thin" sliced.

For protein, try a protein supplement. They are low fat/low carb and high in calories. You can mix in water and drink it pretty easily

For fats, have some nuts! Peanuts, cashews, almonds - any nut. They are high in calories and only a few nuts are in a serving, so they won't make you feel crazy full and they will help you reach your calorie limit.

Keep trying, this is the struggle I deal with every day. I rarely get hungry, and it is very tough for me to reach my calorie goal, let alone get my carb/fat/protein in a decent range.

I get these 100 calorie packs of almonds and eat them as a snack if my calories are too low. This would be good if your carbs are too high for the day. If the fat or protein is too high, then go for a fruit. Lots of carbs, fiber, and vitamins! Good luck!

my guess is youre getting the warning messages
so your body doesn't go into starvation mode.

Add an avocado in there, somewhere. In sandwiches, salads, burritos. For one it is about 200 cals and it has some great fats in it.

Once I started paying attention to all the major nutrient categories, I found it got a lot more difficult to get in the precise amount of calories, fat, protein, carbs that I was aiming for. It did take quite a bit of trial and error. If you're good on all amounts except one, try to find foods that are high in just that amount. For example, some days I may be too low on carbs but good on protein and fat, so I'll eat a low fat, carby food like plain crackers. Or just the other day, I was good on everything except calories, so I had a light beer. :-) I know, empty calories, but it worked.

It's a learning curve, trying to figure out which foods are best for you.

I noticed I wasn't eating enough calories the first two weeks I started tracking. I was getting plenty of protein, carbs abd fats, just not enough calories, so I started eating more fruit and it's helping. I really like oranges! Good luck! :-)
