Please help me with my diet - not getting enough calories and struggling to eat any more!
I started my diet on Monday, and weighed myself this morning and I've already lost 2lbs... I was only 105-6lbs to begin with, I'm 103lbs this morning. I'm BF and my milk supply doesn't seem to be affected. Before this my weight had been very stable to within a lb for about 6 months. According to my BMI I won't be underweight until I reach a total of 93lbs because I'm short.
I've been struggling to plan meals that are above 1500 calories, most of them seem to come in way under that. Yesterdays was more along the 900 calorie mark so I had to force myself to eat some iced fingers I really didn't feel I had room for.
This is what I've eaten the last few days:

I don't think I can keep eating as much as I did yesterday as I have had tummy ache all night too... I feel like I overate yesterday.
please tell me what I can eat that isn't filling, and will add lots of calories without going overboard on the protein, fat, and sodium. Any other meal suggestions welcome too.
