Tried another calorie app.... Boooo!

A couple of days ago I came across Livestrong.com and it's app and decided to try it along with MFP. My Fitness Pal has me at 1200 calories and LS put me at 980. If I don't work out to gain the extra calories I'm starving, especially today since I haven't had the chance to hit the gym, nor will I. I had to go to Santa Fe this morning and I had my normal breakfast of toast w/ earth balance butter and coffee with hazelnut soy creamer. We stopped at a great, healthy restaurant for lunch and I had vegan corn chowder - I'm a vegan btw. We ate at 11:30 and by 4:00 I was so starving. I was supposed to have dinner with my bff, but he couldn't get away from work. I came home and made a carefully weighed sandwich and I was still hungry - LS told me I only had 54 cal left. That was it! I'm back to MFP. I've had good results with this app - as of last Sunday I've lost 15.8 lbs. Usually I don't overeat, so more often than not I don't finish the full 1200 even when I don't hit the gym, but I know for a fact that if you want over all good results that are long term you should not be starving yourself.
