I can't seem to eat all my calories

You can eat them all mentally yoir probally choosing not to in fear you wont lose weight,I know many people that get trapped into this thinking,if you are trying to lose weight then you know you can eat more calories,so therefore need to find healthier options I know you had sugar free b pie but it will still be sweet,next time have just a banana and a glass of milk for your extra portion.

If you're going over on protein and fat, but not hitting your calorie mark, you need to evalute WHAT you are eating. If you'd like to make your diary public, we can give you some concrete advice.

Missing out on grains? Like oatmeal, pasta, rice, ect? They can pack pack a fairly decent wallup. Simple serving of frosted mini-wheats with 1/2 c. skim milk get to around 270 or so.

There are endless previous threads on this topic if you just use the "search" function. You'll likely find helpful info. there.

no it's not that at all. I've been eating this way my whole life, I can eat very little or have one big meal a day. When I was younger there were days I'd forget to eat. So I'm not afraid to eat to many calories.

I would suggest that if that style of eating has gotten you to the point that you need to lose 50 lbs, then it obviously didn't work out well for you.

You are going to receive some advice that it's fine to be under goal, don't eat if not hungry, if you feel full that is fine.
Sounds like what you've been doing already that has gotten you here.

Hopefully you'll receive some advice too on eating more, nutrients is just part of the story, your body needs energy too for repair and upkeep, and you may even be eating too little.

But try to increase 100 cal a day for a week, by means of a snack bar, or trail mix as mentioned, or almonds, or peanut butter, ect.
Something dense. Squeeze it in. Stretch the stomach a bit.

Plan ahead - then you can make sure that you don't get to the end of the day and have lots of cals left over.
If you see that your overall cals are going to be too low, then add something small but calorie dense to each meal - avocado, peanut butter, nuts, cheese, full fat yoghurt or olive oil dressing spring to ming.

And if you're consistently coming in under your cals, then look at the food you're eating.
"Sugar-free, fat-free pudding" can hardly be called food - it can't have many calories and isn't likely to be giving you much nutititon - so you would be much better eating an actual banana or real pudding made with milk and fruit and getting both calories and nutrition.

Don't stress if all your macros don't balance out every day, that is pretty hard to do. If you are over fat today and under tomorrow it will be OK.
And to answer your question - no, you can't just eat "calories". Calories are a measure of energy and they come from the food we eat. That means they have to be made of fat or protein or carbs or a combination of all of those.
Back to my initial point - planning makes a huge difference. You can look ahead at your day and see where you are over or under and make changes BEFORE you eat, rather than worrying about it at the end of the day.

And... just a reminder. Calories aren't the work of the devil, they aren't evil, they aren't something to avoid.
Calories are energy and energy keeps us alive. The trick it just to work out how many are right for you (not too many, not too few).
