This morning I worked out and burned 130 calories before I ate lunch which was 180 calories then a snack was 170 calories. my calorie goal is 1200 so I have 980 left. my dinner will probably be about 400 calories and I will work out again. I'm 5 ft 122 lbs. If I'm not hungry do I have to eat more?

    Is this like an every day thing? One day isn't really going to hurt anything but I wouldn't eat that little on a frequent basis.

    Anything under 1200 will put your body into starvation mode and if you're exercising you might need more than that.

    most days I don't work out twice and don't eat much I don't have much of an appetite and I'm the size of a 6th grader
