    You should eat more often but smaller meals

    If I have a day where I need to add calories I usually have some trail mix. Still pretty healthy but definately high in calories.

    At first I had this problem and learned eating healthy things high in calories helped. Things like nuts or peanut butter as snacks. I still have issues trying to get over 1200 calories but if I see that after lunch I still have too many calories I will eat a little bit of a larger snack.

    Try almonds, yoghurt, wholemeal toast with peanut butter.

    MFP underestimates your protien. It is ALWAYS ok to go over on protien and Fiber.

    a bottle of wine won't help when you can't get the cap off of your water Freckle Face!
    Just breathe through it!

    Don't worry about going over protein.

    If you have nuts that helps get calories up. Also have some fruit too.

    Yeah the protein on here is super low. I though would suggest getting an avacado. Yummy

    Going over in protein is not bad. I personally think protein is set to low on the MFP defaults.

    ETA: I am to freaking slow!! :laugh:

    I plan out most of my food and exercise for the day in the morning or the night before. By planning ahead I have a good idea of what my intake and exercise burn will be. This way I can "pre-eat" a lot of my calories throughout the day so that I don't get caught with a huge calorie deficit at the end of the day that I need to try to catch up on.

    I so wish I could, but I am afraid it will effect my early Saturday morning 8-10 mile run.

    Keep in mind that the protein goal that MFP gives is generally too low. You should be getting .5 to 1 gram of protein for each pound of lean body weight.

    then let the wine flow... looks like you are gonna need it tonight LOL
    might even quench your thirst since that white thingy is preventing you from consuming the water.

    Wish I could help with that one...
