Hi, im entering everything i eat into the nutrition tracker but im repeatedly finding that i'm way under my suggested calorie intake (sometimes as low as 1000kcal) but over on my fat. This isn't due to eating junk.. im not eating any, promise! For example, today I had a fruit smoothie after training (1 mango, 1 banana 1 nectarine & handful of mixed berries), a salad for lunch (avacado, lettuce, tomatoes, a pepper & 2tbs of pine nuts) and poached cod, spinach, and tomatoes for dinner. Im eating more now than I did when I ate rubbish and I feel perfectly full and satisfied (but not too stuffed) and yet my calories were just under 1000!! I know the fat was high today because of the nuts and avocado but they are good fats and not rubbish right?. Is this ok or do I need more calories? If so how can I do this whilst keeping my fat down? Im just a little concerned that my body will go into starvation mode if im not getting enough calories in, despite the fact im eating loads of low cal healthy food and not getting hungry. Advice please? :(
