I'm full but still under 1200 calories a day!!!

Hi, I'm 16 and I'm 153 cm 45 kg. My weight is kinda ok but I just want to drop like 4 more pounds. This week I have been eating like crazy, it would probably went about 1600. Anyway, I'm a swimmer and I went to the practice everyday through out the week until today which is a day off. I plan what I would eat and all but still ended up around 1000 calories.
Breakfast: 1 white egg, 2 cup of cereal, 1 of 60 calories yogurt.Lunch: 0.25 serving of Red Curry Thai Noodle (about 70 calories), 0.7 cup of nonfat milk, 1 of 4" pancakes and 0.5 piece of banana bread.
For dinner, I was planing to eat 1.5 oz of Tuna in the water with some vegetable and my snack for today is going to be 1 medium apple.
However....I'm feeling sooooooo full and my calories is not even 1100 yet. What should I do??

Switch to a full fat yogurt and full fat milk.

If you're still low, eat a table spoon of peanutbutter, provided you are not allergic =)  (you can even put it on your apple)

Try to include some high calorie snacks between meals.

Thanks! But the thing is....I don't feel like I could stuff anything in my mouth anymore!!I ate my breakfast at 8 o'clock and until my lunch time at 11.30, I'm still full!! But I have to eat something because I'm in a boarding school and the cafeteria open at a specific time. I have herd that we should eat every 3-4 hours to maintain the blood sugar but what if I'm in hungry in that 3-4 hours...should I eat or should I don't??

Oh! I typed it wrong. I mean if I'm NOT hungry during that 3-4 hours...should I eat something?

It honestly looks like you switched to "too low calorie" foods and now you're having a hard time eating more "grams" of food.

I honestly never met someone who couldn't eat a spoon of peanutbutter because they were too full.

You could try trail mix, yogurt covered almonds, dried fruit ect.  All high calorie choices that are good for you.

You can also add some granola to your cereal OR yogurt, it's really not very filling but it's high in calories.

Again, switch your milk and yogurt to a higher fat percentage, you can eat and drink the same amount or "grams", but you'll be getting more calories.

If you have problems with low blood sugar (diagnosed?) Fainting, shaking, ect, yes you need to eat, even if it's just a couple pieces of dried fruit.

Thank You!! ^0^

I'm having a similar problem.  Perhaps some of you could give us new comers a list of your favorite high-er calorie foods that are still HEALTHY.  I really prefer high protein as opposed to high fat, sugar, or carb.  I'm trying to keep my food analysis grade at an A, but doing that means filling up on a LOT of veggies and fruits- but maybe that is not the right way.

My health professor says no one over the age of 2 years old should be drinking whole milk.  I would say add in some healthy nuts with your apple as a snack.  One whole serving is probably around 170 calories.

You need to eat more. 1000-1200 calories, even 1600 calories, is not enough for a 16 year old - even one who is trying to lose weight. You should be eating your BMR + activity calories + 300 and only then deduct for a deficit. And you say that you are 99 lbs and 5 feet tall, you don't need to lose weight. You are perfect.

you have some kind of eating disorder obviously. I somehow highly doubt that your "stuffed" on so few calories. See a nutritionist & a therapist! You are very nearly underweight for your height as it is. I'm 5'3'' and 58 kg, and I'm not even overweight. You are too young to be worrying about such petty things as your weight, worry more about your academics!

Why shouldn't you be drinking whole milk over the age of 2? I'm 13, and drink 3 cups of whole milk a day.

iridescent_identity: I really think you should chill out and stop throwing accusations and telling people they need to see a therapist. What qualifies you to make such a diagnosis?

On that note, you are not eating enough calories, BUT I don't think you have an eating disorder. Just try to get a few more calories here and there to add it up. Even a Hershey's Chocolate Kiss (especially the almond ones!) is good for a little 100 calorie boost unless you're watching your processed sugar intake. People really shouldn't go below 1200 for all their bodily functions to work properly. If you're under 100 below that, I think you're fine unless you start making it a habit.

Good luck on finding some new snacks! :) 

You might also eat the entire egg instead of just the egg white.

I may not have qualifications as a therapist, but I can see a eating disorder waiting to happen when I see one. A person this young might be a little confused about her body image and should at least be willing to talk to a school counselor if she has body image problems. I've seen too many people fall into these issues, especially here on CC, not to express my concern. Maybe I was a little harsh on the therapist bit, but I briefly looked into some of this young ladies other posts and it seems to me that the mentality of her place of origin is a bit backwards. Like if your not ''super thin'' , then your a piece of chunky garbage.  I can only hope that charming is not overly concerned with her weight, and is concentrating more on her academics!     (sheesh I sound like my mother)...any who...no offense meant...just a concerned mommy person   ...just don't let it rule you charming, your beautiful as you are!

 Agreed.

Also I don't believe you are just so full you can't eat more. If you really wanted to eat 1200 you would. Have a yogurt, they're about 100 calories. Have a slice of bread/toast with peanut butter for about 200, or just the pb for 100. Or eat nuts, have a dessert, whatever, it's not that hard to eat more calories.

Thanks to all of you. I kinda know myself that I have been mentally weird about my weight lately (counting calories everyday and feel really bad after having 1 piece of cookies or a few small bite of pound cakes and also the whole went on trademill 2 or 3 times a day after eating 3 piece of CHRISTMAS cookies...not to mention feeling bad after eating a medium size pound cake for my SWEET SIXTEEN B-DAY).....I feel like I'm going crazy and I'm wondering how long will I be able to count everything I eat. One day, I tries to stop thinking about what I would eat and did my best to ignore looking at the nutrition fact to see how many calories that food is...but by the end of the day I just can't help it!! I talked to my mom over this on the phone but i don't think she REALLY understand how I feel over EVERY SINGLE thing I eat!!! Is school nurse usually be able to talk me out of this??? Because I'm living in a bording school (I'm originally from Thailand...i'm not American) and it's kinda hard to eat the kind of food that I want!! Back in Thailand, I have NEVER do this before. I think it's also the thing that when Asian people think about western food they will think about fat. This kinda scared me and I think this is partly contributed to my weird eating habit. I know I need to talk to someone but any suggestion who I might be able to talk to??
By the way... at least talking to you guys...I feels a little better...at least I realized what I have been doing to myself for the past many months.
And also my friends asked me that since I know what I'm doing is wrong then why am I still do it? I don't know how to answer this question but I just can't stop doing it!! 

i know how you feel. My daughter went through a weird eating phase and lost alot of weight when she wasn't nearly fat. She looked horrid!!!  Bones sticking out where they shouldn't have been and luckily, she lived at home. We made her eat with us, in front of us for all her meals. So with you being at a boarding school....you aregoing to have to do this on your own and thats going to be hard for you. Take small steps towards not looking at calorie and nutrition facts on foods. Say for breakfast, eat a whole banana and yogurt without looking at the info on the container of yogurt. Do that for a few days until you are comfortable. Then, go on to lunch and do the same. In between, snack on nuts. Lots of nuts!!! When you are going to go some where, grab a handful and eat them as you walk out the door and you won't think about it.  If you need a friend, you can look me up. I'm here for you...... without judgement.

A part of me saying that I need to get thinner and another part of me knowing that starving myself will make me gain weight and tried to make myself throw up is not going to make me lose weight in a long run either! I always have a big meal of breakfast and I think what O eat in a day is fine. But I just turn 16 for a month!!! And as a teen...I don't want to eat THAT healthy 24/7!! I want to feel OK when I eat 1 slice of pizza (this is always be my portion...I usually have 1 piece of Pizza except when they are extremely small) and when I go out with friend I want to have a cup of ice cream! I want to have some potato chips or a piece of cookie without going to the gym right afterward. Since I came to USA, I ACCIDENTLY lost 4 kg (probably 6 pounds) and at first I want to keep my body skinmy so when I go back to my country in summer I could eat all Thai food and have fun with my friends. But now, I feel like even though I lost weight...when I go back home in summer, I would NOT have fun with my friend because all I would be thinking about is how many calories are thise stuff. 
Your suggestion of eating a handful of nuts sounds good....I should try that -- thank you for listening.

I know what you mean. i am 15 and i weigh over 200 pounds.  i hate being over weight.  i hope to have lost at least 40 pounds by september that is when my birthday is.  i want to have a shopping party for my sweet 16 and i think it would be awesome to get brand new clothes at my party.
