    I used a calculator to see how many calories I needed based on my daily acitivity and I raised my calorie goal to 1300.

    I'm a couple of weeks in and eating generally 1100-1200 kcal for my rest days, which are about once or twice a week. I'm losing weight at an appropriate speed and not feeling hungry at all. Some days I actuallly eat only 700 kcal and have to eat a second light dinner to bring the calorie count up past 1000. On days when I exercise I burn 400-500 calories and I tend to eat about 1300-1400 kcal. Once a week I may eat 1700-1800 kcal. I'm not too worried about it, I feel full, I eat what I want, I have energy, I'm getting enough nutrients. I think this is just something that may be slightly different for everyone and everybody's got to fiddle around with it until they find something that suits them.

    One thing I do suggest, if you don't feel full, try dividing your 3 meals a day into 6 light meals (or 3 light meals and 3 snacks).
