Thanks for the advice and the welcome!

I rarely go over 1,200 calories, on average I only eat around 900 or 1,000, it's always been like that. I've been using mypyramid.gov menu tracker on and off since junior high, and I've always been WAY below my daily average. The only time I'll go over or around 1,200 is if I get on a snacking binge or at a party.

I do have some small snacks in between meals like chewy granola bars or some fruit, but I just can't make it several small meals in them selves. I did that for a few months while working and had to hide food under my desk and would get in trouble for snacking on the job.

I've been drinking a ton more water too. I'm trying to add a serving of applesauce to all of my meals too, it's easy calories and no fat so I'm hoping that'll bump up my intake a bit. I know tomatoes and avocado help boost metabolism too so I try to work those into my meals too.
