Using all calories/starvation mode

My target intake is at 1300 calories for the day. I usually am going below this amount and get that notification that my body might go into "starvation mode" if I don't eat enough.

I'm definitely not starving or even hungry since I nom on mostly fruits and veggies throughout the day.

Should I be aiming to eat all 1300 calories even if I'm not hungry??

Thanks

  • I have wondered this too, sometimes I am very satisfied after dinner but still 300 or so under for the day, and since I do not want to lose anymore weight I wonder if I should be forcing myself to eat more to make sure I make my count, or just let it go

    You should be netting at least your BMR or risk your metabolism slowing. You might feel full but do you have energy? If you feel fatigued at all or irritable it could be because you aren't eating enough.
    BMR can be found using fat2fitradio.com/tools and using the BMR calculator.
