I am going to have to respectfully disagree with ladybelles suggestion to keep fat up and cals low by using more oils.

In my opinion, using extra oil adds a lot of calories but *without* adding extra eating enjoyment satisfaction. This is a good suggestion for those people on early induction who just can't stomach the sight or thought of food, but it is the exact opposite of what you need to do.

IMO, your problem is one of psychological unsatisfaction, not physical unsatisfaction. Therefore, the goal to making this work is to maximize the mental enjoyment of every calorie and carb. This way, you will become pspychologically satisfied with less. Here are some good tips.
a) Use *less* oils and fats that don't add a lot of "palate satisfaction". In other words, instead of 2 tablespoons of salad dressing, try 1.5 mixed with more vinegar/lemon juice. Instead of slathering your meat with 3 tablespoons of butter, try using less. You really will be surprised how satisfied you will be, taste wise, with a normal amount of oils and fats.

b) Take smaller portions on smaller plates. This works psychologically because if you eat smaller portions, you can eat more often. In my experience, the freedom of being able to eat whenever I want trumps the minor sacrifice of having to eat smaller portions. This is a personal thing though, as some people find that having to eat smaller meals is a bigger sacrifice than having to eat less often. But, in general, people like the feeling of being able to eat when they want to, and are willing to give up the monster portion sizes for it.

c) You really need to strech the psychological satisfaction of every meal. Learn to use condiments like pickles, mustard, salsa, ketchups, and others that add a ton of flavor for very little calories. Also learn to use herbs. Learn to use your "dressing" fats to make them really strech (sour cream, butters, oils, vinegarettes, etc)

For example, if you foolishly put an extra tablespoon of oil on your veggies, you have basically just added 120 extra calories into your diet. But did you enjoy those calories? Nope. Odds are it just made your already yummy veggies taste heavy and greasy. And, if you are like me, those calories will just go down the memory hole since you didn't psychologically "enjoy" them, and later you will have the urge to snack again. Snacking because you are psychologically unsatisfied is the death nell of making weight loss and maintanence work.

I recommend adding extra calories by making more mini meals and snacks, because this increases eating satisfaction. For example, instead of putting 120 calories of oil on your food in such a way that you dont even know is there, take a 100 calories of yummy peanut butter, mix it up with .25 ounce crushed nuts and maple syrup, and slather it on celery (or, later on, slice up .25 of an apple and eat it like that). This raises your fat percentage in a way that also increases eating satisfaction.

Or, try 5 tablespoons of very fluffy whipped cream (about 100-120 calories) on top of sugar free jello and chopped up berries.

The possibilities of endless. Use your imagination.
