I did this yesterday. I felt like I was eating all day, felt really good about my meals and logged this morning at just under the 1200. I missed breakfast yesterday, which I'm sure was the reason (made sure and ate this morning!).
But I always feel like I eat more (food wise, not caloric) on a "diet," simply because I'm making better choices. It's a learning process!

Thanks so much for the advice!! Sometimes you don't think of the simplest things!!
Fruits and veggies...avocado...peanut butter...it all sounds good!

| Maybe even Peanut Butter on celery or even saltines, depending on just how UNDER you are for the day. I`ve had to do that trick many times, myself to make it to 1,200.

You didn't mention any fruit and not enough vegetables. EAT MORE FRUIT AND VEGGIES!
Eating more for breakfast would probably be a good idea. Does a yoghurt alone really hold you? A peice of fruit would add 100 calories and give you a good energy boost to start your day. You might also want to add an additional piece of fruit or a handful of nuts as a snack. Rice cakes really aren't much nutrition-wise.
I'd probably add a whole grain (whole grain pasta, brown rice, kashi, etc.) or some sort of starchy vegetable (potato, sweet potato, yam, yucca etc.) to dinner.
The spark article "Calorie Boosting Tips" (http://tinyurl.com/y4cqw9) offers some ideas for people who have trouble meeting the minimum calorie requirement.

| I might suggest a good whole grain item to go with your breakfast for good morning energy and also a good higher cal but GOOD fat item is avocado and it's yummy :)

Hi all,
I'm new and on day 4 of my fast break. One thing I've noticed though is that I'm not getting to my minimum calories per day!! I am eating more than I used to, meals I mean, probably not calories. I am having breakfast lunch and dinner with 2 snacks during the day. I'm even counting my glass of red wine!! My goal is 1250 to 1550 and I've been ending up at 1000...
My normal meals are as follows...
Breakfast-Fat Free yogurt
Snack-Apple Cinnamon Rice Cake or Quaker Chewy Granola (with choc and Peanut Butter chips YUMMY!
Lunch-Smart Ones/ Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice
Snack-Apple Cinnamon Rice Cake or Quaker Chewy Granola
20 minutes on the elliptical Trainer.
Dinner-Baked or Grilled Fish, Chicken, Shrimp with veggies as a side...
Snack- a glass or 2 of Red wine...ha ha ha...not every day of course...
I don't feel hungry at all throughout the day and I'm always satisfied after eating. I just don't think I could add MORE food!! It feels like so much...any suggestions???
Thanks a million!!
