I've been using Spark People's nutrition tracker while on VLCD. My loss is about 10 lbs in 14 days (my goal is to lose 30 total) but I am having a hard time getting in 500 calories - according to Spark. I am often in the 300-400 range. I already upped my protein (chicken, talapia, or vension) to 4 oz instead of 3.5 and I am not limiting veggies, but goodness it is hard to get the calories from only one veg. I go back and forth between strawberries and an apple, I don't do well with the acid in the oranges and grapefruit, and I have melba at least once a day, sometimes twice. My losses were very slow to get started but have settled into a pattern of about 1/2 lb a day. Could it be because I'm not getting enough calories? I am following protocol in all other ways. I'm happy with my 1/2 lb, but just wondered if anyone else has a hard time getting up to 500 calories on protocol.

Suggestions?
