Hi, so I have what I think is a rather unique problem that I can't find a solution to anywhere!! I'm currently staying at my parents' house during the quarantine, and my mum casually CICO's but also just generally keeps very healthy low-calorie foods around the house. I don't really have a problem with tempting foods, for example at Easter I got 2 easter eggs and simply incorporated them into my daily calories. My mum, however, finds it very hard to control temptation (this will be important later).
My problem is... I cannot reach my deficit on most days. I'm using my fitness pal and on meals alone, I only tend to eat about 900-1000 calories a day (my deficit is 1200). If I hit the complete diary button they usually send a sort of health message saying I shouldn't be eating below 1000cal per day. I know this, of course. I'm studying biology and am blessed with a nutritional course as part of my degree. But during the day, I don't get hungry so I'm just eating more for the sake of reaching close to 1200. I've been rather precise (or as precise as I can be) weighing and calculating my calories using the per100g as a basis for my ratios, so I don't think that my maths is wrong.
To me, the best solution of this would be to have some high-calorie snacks around that I can incorporate one of into my daily routine, that way I don't have to eat a lot when I'm not hungry (Since everything in the house is low calorie it's basically like having another lunch, eg 5 crackers and light spready cheese) but I don't want to throw my mum off her diet. Any advice on how to increase my calorie intake even when I'm not hungry?
