so i've noticed over the past week, my caloric intake is all over the place varying from 1100 (days when i'm not very hungry) to 1600 (when i'm hungry or completed 2 workouts)....is this bad or good for my metabolism?


does this happen to anyone else? should i work to keep my calories at an even level every day?

    I don't know what your stats are but after 2 workouts you should be eating more than 1600 calories especially if you are eating so little on other days. Overall you should probably boots to at least 1300 on sedentary days, and eat half of what you burn on workout days. I don't think there is any problem with zig-zagging calories (some people do it on purpose to spike your metabolism) but make sure that overall your eating enough. :)

    I'm the same. My calories are up and down. It's working for me so far.
