700 Calories Left and Not Hungry

Pinnagerjaggin

Its almost 8:00 and I still haven't used up 700 of my calories (500 if I don't eat what I burned exercising). Should I get myself a snack to be closer to my daily goal or let it be.

I was just thinking the same thing...I have 700 left also.

Are you thirsty? A nice fruit juice will up the cals but not make you feel like your eating for eating sake.

I had this problem the other day. I try not to eat after 7 so I didn't eat anymore, i say if youre not hungry, don't eat.

I would suggest you find a way to eat at least 1200 calories a day. 1000 calories is too few, especially if you're exercising!

Can you email them to me?

haha! I wish I worked that way! I also always wished that you could save up unused calories for a rainy day. Too bad things don't work that way.

If it's late and I have leftover calories I usually have a piece of toast with some PB..delish!

That's what I'm worried about. I went to dinner and had a pretty filling dinner but when I went back here I was only at 1000 and I know that that's not enough. On the other hand I'm trying to get myself away from eating for the sake of eating. That's my major problem with gaining weight.

me too...but that recent post I read about "zig-zag calorie cycling" works kinda like that, well in some way.

Listen to your body, if you're not hungry then don't eat. This has always worked for me.

If I'm not hungry, I don't eat, plain and simple.

Honestly, nothing says that you have to eat at least 1200 hundred a day.. and if your not hungry, then eating just because you think you should is stupid.

If your that worried, then eat a little extra tomorrow or the next day... one day under won't hurt you.

It probably doesn't hurt you to be that low on calories occasionally, but if you find you're hovering around 1000 most days, I think you probably should find a way to get some more calorie-dense food in your diet (nuts, olive oil, full-fat cheese, etc). When I was your age, I ate 800-1100 calories every day. I was never hungry. I thought I was a weight-loss superstar and a model of health. It turned out that eating that way had consequences for me that made weight management tougher for me as I got older and tried to follow normal eating patterns.

I just turned 40 and I think I finally have a handle on how I should eat to maintain a healthy weight. I've lost 32 pounds since April. I'm in the healthy BMI range (although I have some vanity pounds I'd still like to lose). I eat a widely varied diet, typically 1800-2100 calories a day.

Just use today as a learning experience. You had a pretty good size dinner, so there's no reason to cram food down tonight just to eat the remaining calories. But, it would be a good idea to think about planning ahead in the future to avoid having a bunch of calories left over. A good size breakfast would be a good start. You seem like you're on the right track so good luck!
