I know I should be at least netting 1200 calories, but I have a question about it.. the only thing I don't get about eating more is...if I'm full...why force myself to eat more? I net around 1,000 calories..and I know I should probably net more...but I'm not hungry! So what do you do in that case?
& If we're encouraged to eat more, why are we commended for being under our calorie goal?

When I first changed my diet and joined this site I also realized I wasn't eating enough. I just added in more snacks, peanut butter, string cheese, fruit, etc. I also made some of my portion sizes a bit larger to compensate to get up to my calorie goal.
You should definitely eat more. Ignoring all of the "starvation mode" garbage, it's simply easier to continue out your life eating MORE food than living on such small amounts. People tend to yo-yo diet it seems when they restrict too much because they just go crazy and hit a breaking point and just binge eat.0 -
If you're not hungry, don't eat. Eating when not hungry was our problem to begin with.0
