Well, I've been working with a trainer/nutritionist, and according to my food journals, I'm not eating ENOUGH. I haven't been restricting on purpose, but it turns out that on the average day (meaning on the days that I stick to my healthy plan and not pig out on crap.. 6 days out of the week probably) I am consuming just under 1000 calories. aka not enough.
my first response in my head was "Woohoo! Time to go to McDonalds to get those extra calories!" But I have a feeling that's not the way it works.
This new issue is weird for me because healthy (in my mind) means eating fewer calories. I know there's a lot more to it than that, and I'm learning, but nutrition is so complicated.
Basically, my question is.. what are some higher calorie healthy foods that I should try to work into my diet? I eat a lot of beans and meat and green vegetables right now. I thought about throwing a protein shake into my daily intake, but I know i'll only keep it up for about a week before I get sick of it.
Sorry for the novel. I appreciate everyone who reads this!
