Hello!!!
I'm on a 1200 calorie regimen and I'm finding myself having 250 in th AM, 250 at Lunch and close to 700 at night for dinner. As far as anyone knows, is this a problem? I work as a medical assistant and it's hard for me to snack while at work so I'm literally having only breakfast, lunch and dinner most days.

    It does not matter when you eat your calories.

    I've always heard that you should eat heavier calories in the morning and/or during the day versus at night - but I also eat most of my calories for dinner. I am normally left with at least 700-800 calories for dinner. (My goal is 1570 per day) I have still been losing weight so I am not certain that it matters.

    Hit your target macro's and calories for the day. Doesn't matter what time of the day.

    Not a problem at all! I am a night snacker (well, really all day) so I eat small meals during the day so I have calories left for snacks later b/c I know I won't make it without them!

    This is going to sound incredibly ignorant but... what are macros?
