I have the hardest time meeting my calorie goal each day. I reach it sometimes, but on other days i just don't get hungry and find no need to eat if i am not hungry.
Do any of you have this problem?
I want to lose my weight in a healthy weight, but i can't help but eat under what my goal is.


(:
However i would love to reach it each day, the healthier the longer it stays off my body

I am still new here so i am still looking for friends who are motivators!!
add me if you like.

    I'm the same, haven't hit my target all week. I'm not sure if that's good or not but I don't want to be eating if I'm not hungry. The biggest change I've made is what I'm eating as opposed to how much. Less crisps, chocolate and sweets....more fruit and veg.

    Just because YOU aren't hungry, doesn't mean your body isn't.

    If you aren't used to eating much, you have to sort of re-train yourself to eat more. Set up certain specific times in the day when you will eat your meals. Your body will get used to those feeding times and after awhile, you'll start to feel hungry when those times approach. Stay consistent to have the best results. Gradually increase calories for each meal.

    Avocados, nuts, peanut butter, olive oil... just have a bit of these to bump up your calories whilst also getting good fats in. You might not feel hungry, but you don't want to starve your body

    This.

    Also, look for more calorie dense foods like peanuts butter, nuts, etc.

    If it were me? I'd start with a protein rich calorie dense breakfast. A banana isn't going to fuel your body. Then add more nuts/seeds etc. Avocados...
