Anybody have any ideas how I can solve this, I don't want to be starving my body. But if you look at my food diary I am eating as much as I can?

PW is: Sarah.

Just looking for how to 'fatten' up the meals or something?

Thanks
Sarah

    peanut butter toast is a great snack :) full servings of nuts, avocados (great on sammiches and salads), full fat cheeses and salad dressings

    I feel the same, although I dont have that many calories left I find I always have about 200-400 left each day, expescially when I excerise.

    However I am finding I am eating the same as what I used to, but now with exercise it just lefts these few calories.

    I think its having a bad effect as I feel like I can have another ice block or that I can have desert most nights. Whereas if I was watching my diet I wouldnt allow myself those things.

    If you are having trouble getting enough cals, maybe switch to full fat instead of light foods. More snacking.

    I found once I started exercising more and snacking more that my body started to actually metabolise a lot quicker, needing more food and more frequently. Constantly eating all day.

    Add some calorie dense food to the meals you are eating. Avocado is a great start.

    Thanks for the great advice. Okay might have another couple snacks and change my milk and cheese to full calories. Loving peanut butter so I might put it on some celery so I don't feel 'sooo' bad haha

    On your last diary entry I would add 2 slices of bread to Lunch and 1 cup rice / pasta / potato to dinner. Also add eggs now and then.

    Otherwies you are just eating tooo healthily !! (Wish I could).

    There is no need to go with skim milk / diet anything if that is what you are eating. Eating good "fats" does not make fat, but make sure you avoid trans fats.

    Perhaps have some cheese with your wafer crackers and some dressing with your iceberg lettuce? You're doing amazingly, though!

    Thanks again everyone. I usually have some sour cream with my salads but I might get some french dressing or something. Might also have a steamed potato tomorrow night and see how that goes. (Maybe add some sneaky butter ha)

    From eating a big bag a chips a day and bottles of coke zero and no water I am feeling very healthy at the moment. Plus the exercise helps with stress =)
