[quote=Anonymous]I think a couple of things -

The first few days, it can be difficult to figure out what owkrs for you.  So once you hit 1800, you stop eating, even though maybe you need more, or were really unbalanced during the day.  Once you get used to counting and learn what things satiate you and what things are just empty calories it will be better.  your eating should become healthier.

I have had good luck snacking on nuts (almonds are the classic example) - they aren't filling by volume but do help with fat/protein.  I also have good luck with peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets.  Only 150 calories for 10, you get a treat of carbs, plus fat and protein.  They have been my lifesaver at times.

Cutting sugar and caffeine drastically can also lead to lightheaded-ness.  Have a cup of coffee with one teaspoon of sugar (adds 15 calories) or 2 teaspoons of sugar (30 calories).  30 calories of sugar is not going to disrupt your diet too terribly.  As your body adjusts, go down to one teaspoon.  [/quote]
