Ok I just tried to plan a days worth of meals and failed completely to reach all of the goals. When I didn't have enough calories I tried adding in extra things like cheese and nuts, and then I ended up with too much protein. So I cut back on the yogurt and meat, and then I didn't have enough calcium or calories! The only…

I thought that I might've been severely undereating, but the thought just occurred to me; since I lost all that weight at such a slow rate doesn't that mean I was actually consuming enough calories to not just drop off more than a kilo a week? So maybe I was subconsciously eating more than 600 calories... Thanks anyway!!
