Hey buddies,

Well, I’ve been looking at my diet and my long plateau and wondering what’s going on. I’ve been exercising more, eating well and whatnot. And so, I realized that maybe I’m not eating enough.

Michelle, the saint, has been helping me out and recommended a varied caloric intake for the week. Today was supposed to be 1950. I’m at 1250 and it’s 10 pm. Thing is, I’ve been eating tons. I mean, I have been a lean mean fat-fighting machine and found ways to cut the calories in tons of food, but it’s crazy.

Here’s what I ate so far today:

Breakfast: Whole Wheat Eng Muffin, Egg Beaters Omelette and slice of Ham (apx. 180 cal)
Lunch: Chicken Breast (2oz), Green Beans, Broccoli, half a potato, carrots (apx. 138 cal) Oh yeah, then dessert. Strawberries 6, and 3/4 of a skinny cow ice cream sandwich (137 cal)
Snack: Half a grapefruit and half a toasted (whole grain) tomato/mayo (fat free) sandwich. (apx. 195)
Pre-workout snack: Herbalife Protien Bar (130 cal)
Dinner: 1.5 PC Blue Menu Chicken Sausages, 1 potato, steamed green beans and Broccoli (374 cal)
Treat: 1 Pot of Gold chocolate: (45 cal)

As you can see, this is a TON of food, I’ve been eating all day. And yet, only 1,219 cal.

Any tips on how to increase calories while still eating well, healthy and low fat. I mean I know that I can have another 6 chocolates and add lots of calories, but that is a bit silly.

And I worked out 2x today. Ahhh! I don’t want not eating enough to stop me from losing weight! Ahhh how frustrating.
First you eat too much and gain weight, now I can’t eat enough to lose weight. Is there anyway to win???

Well, thanks for listening to me vent.
