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!

There are a few questions I would have before giving a direct answer.
Are you limiting your carb intake to lower calories fruits and veggies (no starch?)
Do you get full, or just lose your appetite?
Previous to TNT, have you been eating a diet high in low caloric fruit/veggie, lean protein, poly/mono fats?
