Or just don't want to....
I'll take 'em. I'll take 'em all.
Because, let me tell you, even trying to maintain on an average of 2400 calories a day, I could still eat more.
I did not lose my appetite along with the weight.

Right?! I have no problem eating all of my calories. A spoonful of PB will boost me up and over no problem6

Totally can't fathom the whole "I can't meet my 1200 calorie goal" thing... Also, I'm pretty sure you can cause that's kinda what landed you on MFP28

That wasn't the direction I thought this thread was going.
I'll fight you for them... I'd gladly eat more!5 -
lets face it, even bulking is like being on a restrictive diet where you have to stop eating at a certain point otherwise you are just gaining fat6

Yup! It could have been a helpful post but....nahhhhhhh.4 -

Yes! Every time I see this, I think "Yes, you can."6 -
Seeeeeeeeriously. Even when I'm eating solely high-volume, low-calorie foods, I can readily eat over not just my weight loss calories, but even my (pretty high) TDEE. It's how I got fat! When I was going through a rough time recently and lost my appetite it was so anomalous as to actually frighten me. I will never understand all these "I can suddenly barely manage 800 calories a day" posts.7

Haha I thought it was another "one of those" and I clicked in anyway - which says what about me??7

I've had an intestinal bug the last couple of weeks and only had 1 day <1200.0

3300 here today and I’ll be starving in the am1

Challenge accepted. Tomorrow is donut day at the office. It’s become a weekly battle of discipline and lack thereof, rationalizations, and sometimes quickened pulse from the sugar rush.
The only winner seems to be the bakery.2 -
It's been sooooo hot here that I am not as hungry as usual. I didn't hit 1200 today because it's like ten billion degrees. Normally I have no trouble.0

Is this the thread where I brag about hitting my calorie goal? Because I did today...excluding exercise cals which were minimal and I didn't eat back, I hit it dead on and used every last delicious calorie I had.7

I have not hit my calorie goal since Saturday, when I lost a game of fetch with my dog. I reached for the stick and she threw it up in the air (yes, I think she was trying g to throw it for me) and it hit me in face.
I have had a headache and nausea ever since it hit me. I know I have a mild concussion and I know not eating is how to not actually be sick. (I am a TBI survivor so I know when to actually go see the doc.)5 -

And wouldn't you earn more activity calories if you were fighting for them? Bonus!!3 -
Lol yes! Every time I see a “I can’t eat all my calories” post my eyes roll so hard3
-
Me too! I could easily eat twice my current (not very blinking big) cutting allowance. And all of your allowances too3
-
Maintenance calories of 2700, and I could still eat more! I hear ya.3
-
I'm pretty sure I could eat mine and about 3 others!2

LOL!!!! Seriously. Unless I am really sick (rare, but a nasty stomach bug will leave me in a severe deficit for a day or two), I have to really watch myself from going over. Going under has never been my problem.
Although I have spoken to a single person that legitimately has a hard time hitting 1200; severe muscular issues that leave him wheel chair bound and has a difficult time with food. He also knows he's underweight and asks for the best very high calorie supplements that are easy on being swallowed.1
