Too Few Calories??
Hi Everybody,
Because I'm vegetarian (no meat, but yes dairy) I am currently getting all my calories from eggs (~3-4 per day), cheese (~3-4 oz. per day), and salads w/ tofu (~4 cups per day). I know I'm getting enough protein and vitamins and everything else, and I eat to my fill. I can't eat anything more, I just feel sick! I also know that none of these things, cheese exempt, is very calorie-full. I know that when you drop below a certain calorie threshold the body goes into starvation mode-and I don't want that to happen!! What else can I eat/substitute to up my calories without going over my limit of 20-25 carbs per day?
Thanks for all your help!
