    I so get you!! I was on 1200 cal from FP as well, today they upped it to 1500!!! I was shocked! Last night I was under by 300 cal. Had PB on some celery. I find it overwhelming to try and balance calories, and get the nutrients in but not going over the amount. I too do not eat flour or sugar products, at least for now! I agree, add olive oil to your salad, and some avocado will up that salad couple 100. Good luck, you got this!

    It does sound contradictory to come here because we're overweight from overeating and then complain that it's hard to get the recommended calories in. However, I had the same problem. I decided that the first thing I needed to do was quit eating between meals. I discovered that the meals I was accustomed to eating were actually pretty small. I was getting most of my calories from snacking between meals. At first I was afraid to eat more calories during meals because I didn't want to run out of calories before I ran out of day plus I wasn't used to eating what looked like a big plate of food. Fingers crossed and knock on wood; I seem to have found a balance.
