No matter what I eat in a day I find it hard to eat the calories that I am supposed to. Today I ate more than usual but came under the calorie sugesstion by 600 calories! I am scared that if I do not start eating more I am not going to lose weight. Any suggestions?

    add some cheese, or peanut butter, or nuts in general those are higher in good calories :)

    also if you open your diary so we can see it we might be able to give you a few suggestions on how to beef up each meal!

    I have the same issue myself. I have been adding a protein shake at night before I go to bed which has helped some. You might look at adding a shake or two a day. Goodluck.

    Love Nutella! Use whole fat products. I did have a small window when I ran into the same problem, but not anymore. I love to eat and found w/ careful planning I could get it all in. I love graham crackers w/ nutella and strawberry rhubarb jam and a glass of milk. Bananas are good too. I also include almonds, walnuts and olive oil almost everyday. Good luck! Oh yeah, I also bought some snack pack cookies for the days that I burn more calories through excercise.
