    Honestly, better meal planning... so long as you get in a healthy variety, stay well hydrated... Dont be afraid to eat more if your exercises are resulting some serious caloric burns.

    I found for me that if I were to have 4-5 small meals per day, Im actually more stabilized and I can always get my daily calories in much better than three squares...

    Find what works best for you!

    I'm not quite sure what you're asking but its important to hit your macros everyday. If reaching your calorie count everyday becomes an issue, buy a can of nuts and eat a handful. They are full of healthy fats and packs a good calorie punch. Also, with so little left to lose, you should probably be shooting for .5 pounds a week and work on getting your nutrients and exercise in. Its slow and steady that wins the race.
