I just started working out seriously again, and I am having problems eating enough calories. I have been making very healthy choices with my food, and it just doesn't seem to be adding up to enough. For example,
Calories Eaten Today
source grams cals %total
Total: 796
Fat: 23 203 27%
Sat: 9 77 10%
Poly: 1 8 1%
Mono: 0 2 0%
Carbs: 112 307 40%
Fiber: 36 0 0%
Protein: 63 253 33%
Alcohol: 0 0 0%

I haven't been going to bed hungry, and I eat until I'm full. What am I doing wrong?

796 calories would be adequate for a 53 pound person. Not knowing your weight it is hard to give good info.
Please fill out your profile.

If you can dream it, if you can imagine it, then you can be it, you can do it. If it is meaningful enough, and you commit the energy of your passion, you will.

Sorry about that. I filled out that information under Nutrition Plan, but I don't see anywhere I can enter it in my profile. :( I am 5'6" and 134 lbs.
