So, let's say I totally get the message, and I buy into it: Train hard, eat harder. And, that is my current goal. But, I struggle to eat the appropriate amount of calories, mostly because I just don't have an appetite and I don't find food all that enjoyable.

I just don't get that hungry, and when I do, it only takes a small amount of food for me to feel uninterested again, and by then I'm on the verge of gagging if I take another bite. Some days I'm able to eat enough to hit my calories, and other days it's a real struggle.

What are some things I can do to "trick" or convince myself into eating. What are some ways I can get those calories I need (2000-2400/day) without it being a miserable experience? Is it a habit that will take time to develop? Is it a mental shift that needs to happen? I'm currently following Plan A of TNT. Honestly, if I could get all my calories and nutrition from a pill a day, I would!
