Struggling to eat enough calories

[SageTracey 608]

Wondering if anyone else has this problem and/or can offer me some advice. I usually eat two Weetbix with boiled Water for Breakfast (I can't tolerate milk early in the day) and then I don't feel hungry until lunch time. I have an afternoon snack and then dinner but am finding it really difficult to eat my 1200 - 1250 calories/day. I have started having an occasional morning snack to try and reach my calories but I am not hungry and don't like eating just because I need to consume calories. I am using myfitnesspal.com to measure my calories, and have started weighing and measuring just in case I was under-estimating. I physically cannot eat all my calories unless I continue eating into the evening, which I understand I shouldn't be doing.

Weight loss to date has been great, but myfitnesspal.com tells me I will go into starvation mode if I go below 1200 calories a day.

Any advice, tips, help, suggestions?

I don't count calories and I am only getting 800-900 a day. Remember that myfitnesspal.com does not take into consideration the lap band. I think the main thing to keep from going into starvation mode is just to mix it up...exercise and eat..but only eat what you can. just my opinion..talk to your dr too

I actually recently increased my calories to break through a plateau and I've incorporated nuts into my diet. They are high calorie for a small amount and have healthy fats. I got emerald 100 calorie packs and they are very small. Since I've upped my calories I have been finding it hard to get enough and these help. Or even if you need to Peanut Butter. I know I could just eat it off a spoon (though I have to be careful controlling myself with it) but again high calorie and healthy fats.
