    I do not try to eat under my goal but it does happen
    How do we know when we have gone to far?

    Personally, if I'm not hungry I'm not going to eat whether I have 3 calories remaining or 400 calories. Most days, I'm hungry and eat anywhere from1200 - 1500 calories. Some days I'm under and some days I'm over (like on Sunday when I had ice cream and a coke for breakfast!). Unless someone is drastically reducing their food/calories (like in an eating disorder type of way) I don't think its an issue to vary caloric intake throughout the week. I prob should mention, that I'm not losing weight, just maintaining and I might be more strict if I was actively trying to drop weight.

    I look at all my friend's food diaries daily, provided they are open, and comment accordingly. I would hope my friends do the same for me.

    I'm the opposite, I very rarely ever look at diaries. I don't know the persons situation and what their day entailed to openly comment on it. I don't know if they are low carbing, low-fatting, trying to bulk, etc.
