    My vote is - if you are not hungry then don't eat.

    I don't eat unless I am hungry now. Before, I used to eat when I was bored, mad, sad, happy, whatever... Now I just listen to my body. Doesn't really matter to me how many calories I'm consuming (as long as I'm under which I always am).

    Yes, you aren't eating enough! Don't be afraid to eat!

    Couple of spoonfuls of peanut butter will get you up to your calorie goals fast. Yes eat.

    If you're not hungry, I wouldn't force yourself to eat anything.
    You could always opt for a larger, healthy breakfast in the morning if you're starving when you wake up.

    I'm in the same boat! It is so hot here that I don't want to eat! I made a salad for dinner and added more cheese and dressing than normal to up the calories a bit and I'm still a little under 1100. With my exercise, I have about 600 left (300ish without my exercise) and I don't know what I'm going to do either. I'm going to try and at least hit my daily goal, if not exercise.

    If you really aren't hungry, I wouldn't force yourself to eat a meal...but maybe some Peanut Butter or something high caloric that can get you closer to your goal or at least to 1200.

    I have chocolate silk peanut butter cups that are 250 cal each. I am going to try and have that for a snack later tonight.
