After posting on the forum and scrutinizing what I generally eat in the day, I think I may not be eating enough... I already feel like I'm eating a lot of food, but I still have a pretty big appetite and I just don't think the body fat is coming off as fast as it should with how active I am and the quality of food I eat. To be honest, I always have a hard time understanding how eating more can actually help you lose weight...but I've heard it said time and time again so it must be true. On an average day I am eating about 1500 calories and I am starting to think that's not enough based on my appetite and other people's input. It's going to be tough because I am so busy and have limited time throughout the day to eat, but I am going to try to find a way to squeak in an extra 200 calories, especially on the days I do weights. I will try and make sure most of it is protein. I am already spending half an hour or more packing my cooler each day so does anyone have any suggestions for a quick and delicious protein-packed meal of around 200 calories? It needs to refrigerate well since I can't make it fresh due to my job. I would really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions!

Geez... doing this whole nutrition thing by myself is tough! It's so scientific! Haha...
