You don't have to eat those calories if you are not hungry.20

Really?

Don't eat if you aren't hungry....4

Wine and crackers to go with the cheese. Yummy!11

You guys are no fun. It's not often I get an extra 800 calories to indulge on.8

Can't go wrong with good old ice cream. Often how I eat back some of the calories I burn on 5+ hours of hiking.6

Ultimately, eat only when hungry; regardless of what the calorie count says. Listen to your body.7

People where does it say she isn't hungry

Calories in, calories out. Not really seeing the harm in a caloric-ly permissible indulgence!5

I'd disagree with this in a few cases.
1. You need to eat a minimum number of calories to be healthy, and even if not hungry, you should eat at least this much.
2. There's a school of thought with some very intelligent and respected adherents, such as Dr. Yoni Freedhoff, that would say you should eat to prevent future hunger. The idea is that if you wait until you're really hungy, you'll often end up eating more in total than if you ate to prevent yourself from becoming really hungry in the first place.
The second point won't really matter as much if you're counting calories - meal timing doesn't matter for weight loss, calories do - but some people may find it easier to stick to a deficit if they are eating smaller but more frequently.18 -
Hmm...cheese would be at the top of my list too. Often when I'm short on calories, it's my go-to!
Ice cream sounds nice too...or cookies. I love me some Oreos!3 -

Sure; all good advice; but at 10PM at night and 814 calories left? While the calories are the same, your body doesn't go into its period of intermittent fasting/recovery throughout the night; digesting that food will impact your sleep.
I notice there is a massive CICO trend on these boards and fair enough; it's the scientific principle of weight loss; it's not however the scientific principle of health.4 -
Chocolate is always good.. or Ben and Jerry's5

Why not 10 pm? Nothing wrong with eating at 106 -

No! You shouldn't be thinking like that. Be proud that you worked hard to burn off the calories you already have. They're not "earned" calories.
A lot of times when I'm not hungry, I just input Misc calories so I can get my projected goal.5 -

Two birds...one tummy. I like!2 -
cashews...and a LOT of them! I'm working hard to stay in the "one serving" portion of the cashews in my house. I'd like to mow through the entire bag!4

There are plenty of scientific reasons; but hey, if it works for you, full power.

I had some olives that have been sitting in my fridge for way too long, then an adult protein shake.1

Then MFP cut me off. Possibly related to the adult protein shake which I just half spilled on my couch. I have zero tolerance for alcohol.2

I'd have chocolate
well really I'd have wine10 -
Peanut butter. Mmmmmm2
-
That never happens to me - I eat all day long. But if I do have that much I eat a pop tart or chocolate.4

Ben and Jerry's is about 1000 calories per pint. Yeah, I knew that off hand. If someone had bothered to plow the roads today, I'd totally make my husband go to the store and save the rest for tomorrow. Ha! like that's ever happened.SymbolismNZ wrote: »rankinsect wrote: »SymbolismNZ wrote: »Ultimately, eat only when hungry; regardless of what the calorie count says. Listen to your body.

LOL. Dude. It's 5 PM. I start my logging day at 6. Also, what?14 -
OMG. I should have put peanut butter in that protein shake. I may have some almonds in the next hour if I feel nibbly. I have gotten down to 300 something calories, with 333 coming from some iffy MFP show shoveling calculations, I may just call it a night.1

See above post from @rankinsect regarding this. Eating enough for proper nutrition is important, plus why the heck shouldn't someone enjoy a treat if they have the calories available?
Personally, I'd prefer to eat as much as I can while still losing weight! There have been a few times where I've been under my goal because I just wasn't hungry, but only by 100-200 calories - I save them for a day when I feel like a treat.SymbolismNZ wrote: »I notice there is a massive CICO trend on these boards
