    I found myself in the same position the other day. My thing was, I got up late in the day so I missed breakfast. Then I just wasn't hungry later in the day. I have a hard time forcing myself to eat when I'm not hungry (shocking, I know).

    Who would have ever thought I would be worried about not eating enough? Haha Like on the nights I work, I always worry about my dinner. Will I make good choices there (I work at a restaurant) and if I don't....will I fufill my calories for the day? I worry about this a lot actually. Tonight I am planning on sneaking dinner in before work so I don't even have to worry about it.

    It's early in the day, so why are you worried about not eating enough? I read somewhere on here that you can take calories from a different day and use them? So if you don't eat enough today, could you essentially eat more tomorrow?! Not sure how that works.

    Good luck to you!

    What do you mean you're not going to have an appetite later? Are you sick or something? How do you know in advance?

    This is a very confusing thread... Can you give us some more information?!

    I looked for your diary, but it's not public, not sure how we can help or if you want help?!

    If you are trying to lose weight why do you care if you don't get enough calories?

    Just force down a couple protein shakes, you'll get your necessary nutrients, while maintaining a calorie deficit - isn't that the point of dieting...

    If it's just today then don't worry about it. One day won't hurt anything. But if you are way under on a regular basis then you need to address it.

    i am quite confused? you're upset because you're PREDICTING that you won't be hungry?

    Have a smoothie--make it with 1 cup milk (80 calories for skim), 1 cup yogurt (120ish calories), 2 tbsp peanut butter (180 calories) and a banana (100). 480 calories of nutritious goodness!

    Then have some cheese and crackers --whole grain of course and 2-3 oz of cheese...120 for the crackers and 200-300 for the cheese . 320 calories and NOT FILLING AT ALL!

    Then assess the situtation..that's 800 calories that won't make you sooo stuffed if you need the calories.

    Don't worry about it for today, one day of eating not enough calories won't harm you.. it's only consistent large deficits that can hurt your weight loss and also obviously deprive you of nutrients.
