Chicken, fish, eggs, beans, cheese, nuts, cottage cheese, yogurt, veggies, protein shakes, beef... Look for high protein low carb. I don't think you have had a slow loss but it's not healthy to remain at such low calories (and assuming low protein).

How far out are you? I've lost weight consistently, except for the 3rd-4th week stall, and at 7 weeks out I'm only at 500-600 calories a day. I found as long as i met my Protein and Water I lost weight.

I'm 3 months out. I can't have beef for another 3 months. I can't tolerate eggs anymore.

I'm 3 months out too and I easily get over 800 calories a day. Sometimes up over 1000. I am terrified of destroying my metabolism and being stuck on an extremely low calorie diet forever.

My staples are lots of cheese, 4% cottage cheese, chicken + turkey (grilled, roasted, baked, ground), sashimi, yogurt, lamb, perky turkey Jerky. Whole milk in my coffee.

One of my lunch favorites is a breadless crab or shrimp melt. I put a pile of the good stuff on a plate and hit it with lemon juice and old bay seasoning. Nuke for 30 seconds and add a slice of havarti cheese. Dang good food!
