    Firstly if it is just a couple of days, nothing horrendous will happen. Find a couple of high calorie snacks. Peanut butter, bananas, avocados, stuff you can add to what you are eating that ramp up the calories.

    You should not be eating less than 900 calories unless under a Dr.'s supervision. It throws your metabolism in a starvation mode and slows it down so you will use less calories.

    Hi and welcome

    you can add me as a friend if you like - its taken me a long time to get the hang of this and now I am loving every day of my new life

    once you have accepted my friend invite you can see my diary - I eat back when I train and have a target of 1200 cals/day so that on the non exercise days I keep to my goals

    Its all about the long term goal and not a quick fix

    good luck

    Matt
