Quick Question

Hi All

I've got the rest of my food planned out for the day and here's my quandry. I'm sitting at 1,050, with 0 points left in Sugar, but 5 points over in fat. What do I do? I thought about peanuts but that's a ton of fat calories. Is it ok because it's healthy fats?

Or do I just let it go and stay as is. I've been struggling to even get to 1200 calories the past few days and I hate to eat, just to eat.

Thanks in advance!

If I'm not hungry, I don't eat. You're close to 1200, and being below that number once in a while shouldn't cause a problem. You don't want to be under target all the time though.

I would stay as is, why eat just to eat.

Maybe you need to eat a chicken breast or can of tuna.

I agree, as long as you are satisfied then leave it as it is.

Being below for a day won't hurt you. It's actually prescribed in methods like calorie zigzag'ing. If you want something, though, go for some extra lean protein or fat free milk. You're probably going to end up with a little more fat or sugar no matter what, though.

dont eat just because MFP says you need more calories.. your doing just fine and your body is telling you that its satisfied... no biggie..

I struggle all the time to eat my 1200 calories and if I've excercised even more so..... I don't count my sugars anymore as I've not got a sweet tooth but found frozen vegetables contained a certain amount of sugars along with fruit...Quite disheartening when you try your best to eat healthily then see those red numbers creep in at the end of your food diary. Don't beat yourself up about it!
