11. If you need more calories...

maybe there are some things you can to do charge up the things you will eat. Maybe try salad dressings with more calories (or adding other calorie-dense items). The suggestion upthread to try nuts seems like a good one in keeping with your proclivities.

One huge difference between your experience and mine is the appetite. What got me going on exercising more was partly that while I could manage to limit myself to an appropriate number of calories on low/no exercise days, I really looked forward to dessert at the end of the day. Only by exercising more could I "buy" enough calories to do that regularly.

Anyway, good luck with this!
