So I have been in the stall from hell. I started birth contol pill about 3 weeks ago I put on 4 pound without changing my diet one bit. So I stopped taking the pill at week 2 as I was just bloating and got headaches the whole time. So I have been off the pill for 8 days now and my weight has not budged.

I read to up my calories to trick my body so I started keeping track on myfatscecret.com and found if I was lucky I was getting about 500 calories a day. I started looking for healty ways so add some more calories, so far that has been adding a Protein Shake in my day and adding an afternoon snack of cheese and lunch meat.

I have to admit It is a lot of work to get in the amount of food that I do, the Snacks are really really hard to fit in. I am just plain full. One would think on so little calories I would be dropping the weight right and left.

So I need some tip on breaking the stall and ways to get in healthy snacks.

How do your fat grams look? I added in avocados, Peanut Butter and nuts (almonds/pistachios/macadamia) to increase my fat intake when I was trying to maintain, and I continued to lose weight.

I was increasing calories and fat, but still losing.

It might not just be calories, your body might need more fat.

I agree with Tiffykins - quality not quantity. Go for the rich dense nutrients rather than just upping calories. Avocadoes are excellent but depending on where you live can be pricey. Good cheese, the real stuff not plastic wrapped slices. Greek yogurt, honey, nuts, oil-rich fish like salmon, hearty meats like duck, bison, & venison. Liver. Doctored Protein Shakes with wheat grass, spirulina, Peanut Butter, real whole milk. Egg yolks.
