Hi /fit/. Really need some help here. I am not eating enough.
Here's a typical menu for a day:
1. White cheese 250/121.5 (cal./weight)
1. Kiwi 200/106
2. Fish 100/69
2. Pepper 50/11
2. Spinach 200/30
3. White cheese 300/145.5
3. Apple 200/104
4. Turkey 37.5/37.3
4. Bread (not the white kind) 110/253
4. Pepper 50/11

Total: 3.2945 pounds of food for only 887.88 Calories. And I have no idea what else I could eat for the remaining meals of the day. Should I increase portions size ? Eat much more of the same thing ?
To have 1800Cal. I should eat more than double of what I planned for today. Er. What am I doing wrong ? Currently I am eating as much as a 2 years old :s

more meals, increase portions. try six meals instead of four.

Op here. Does it look like not enough to you on paper ? I am beginning to think I might have a food issue here where I wrongly believe I am eating a lot when I am not. If I hadn't put it on paper I wouldn't have noticed the numbers :/

that's probably because the food you're currently eating is not very calorie-dense. i don't understand your problem though, just eat more.

Obviously it isn't enough if it's only 887.88 Calories. Maybe you could try adding some more meat, eggs, oils perhaps a bit of pasta or brown rice or tubers.

oh, and another thing, and i'm assuming you're trying to cut fat at the moment: fruit is not exactly the best thing for this purpose (lots of sugar), so replace it with oatmeal or something.

This is silly. Fruit don't have a very high glycemic index and they certainly don't have a high glycemic load.

what the hell are you talking about?

first, what are your units? weight in what?

second, if you're posting (cal/wt) and weight is in grams, you've got the numbers backwards: 1498 cal for 888 g(?)

finally, if you're number are in (g/cal) where are you getting these calories per weight numbers? what kind of "white cheese" has ~2 calories per gram? most non-cottage cheeses are around 3 cal/g. Fish at less than 0.7cal/g? Tuna is 1.2 cal/g and they don't get much leaner than that.

Adding some brown/integral pasta did the trick and eggs did the trick. But it feels weird. I hadn't realised I was eating so little, that would explained sleepiness and other things. Thanks /fit/. Do you have some kind of high caloric healthy food list ?

Indeed, numbers were reversed (and here I though I was clever) It reads: weight in grams / calories.

Numbers come from the food labels.
White cheese is:
Cal:48.5 C:2.4 P:9.5 F:0.1 (19.79%, 78.35%, 1.86%=100% of total cal.)
Fish is: Colin d'Alaska
Cal:69 C:0 P:15.7 F:0.6 (0%, 91.01%, 7.83% = 98.84% of total cal.)

Add in a nice juicy steak and a grilled chicken fillet, with salad. As two extra meals. Then you'll be sweet.
