Having a problem eating my calories for the day...

Sorry but your diary isn't open!
I only eat my exercise calories if I want them. There's little point eating them if you are not hungry!

just try to stay over 1200 if thats your goal then i'm not sure. a glass of juice/milk with a meal maybe?

don't worry about exercise calories... i personally choose not to eat them unless i want to haha

my partner has to force himself to have meals to reach his calories

Your breakfasts look too light. Try eating more calorie dense things so you're not eating large volumes but getting higher calorie counts. Whole grains especially fit this bill. A relatively small portion of beans, wholegrain rices, Oat Groats or Quinoa (two of my favorites) will give you some good calories.

for breakfast i suggest whole oats, the old fashioned king never the one-minute varieties. or if you can find it Bob's Red Mill Muesli. (you can order it online search bobs red mill)

A breakfast that includes protein will jumpstart your metabolism for the day. Try increasing just that part of your diet. It's ok every once in a while to be below your calories (excluding exercise earned calories). You need to eat roughly 1,200 calories per day or your body will "think" it's not getting enough food & slow down fat burn. I know it's hard. There are days I have to almost force myself to get closer to my before exercise calorie goal. I have found that after the days I am under 1,200 I don't lose the weight easier. Eating a protein included breakfast works for me & will help your metabolism. :glasses:

When looking over your diary for the past 10my days ur calorie intake is awesome! 8 out of the 10goals days you are 1300-1500 a with only a few to spare the other two fays your above 1000 . Id say you are having no problems getting ur calories. Although adding some more protien couldn't hurt! Good luck on your venture!

I have this problem sometimes too I get to dinner time and have 1200 calories to eat! ( I have to eat more than most people as I am bf-ing full time). I find that small snacks even if Im not really hungry help,like a fiber one bar or some almonds. Also a smoothie as a snack you can sip on helps, I blend some frozen strawberries and either some naked green machine juice, or some greek yogurt and a splash of milk , a banana and some baby spinach all together , I also sprinkle in some ground flax seed for more fiber, omegas, and calories. This smoothie can easily add 200+calories depending on what you throw in there, you can do one with chocolate soy milk, bananas, and peanut butter thats also really good.

Also drink some calories, have some milk, or a little juice to drink. Add in some peanut butter, avacado or other high calorie foods. Also the ladies on CM can help you out with other ideas theyre great with this stuff
