    Probably the same reason everyone assumes a closed diary means you're starving yourself.
    It bothers me when the friend does not have an open diary, so I'm not going to congratulate them on being under their goal when i have no clue if they are TOO far under. Or if they eat nothing but junk all of the time with very little nutrients.

    Big reason I refuse to friend anyone who has a closed diary. I won't support people attempting to starve themselves thin. Usually I will give a couple of reminders then I un-friend.

    Frankly, I'm just glad the little message doesn't tell me, "If every day were like today, you'd be a fat *kitten* again in 5 weeks" when I go over!

    But seriously, I still congratulate my friends when they eat along whatever guidelines they've set for themselves, even if they go over on calories -- that's only ONE piece of the puzzle. And I tell myself it doesn't really matter what MFP says about my caloric intake. Meanwhile, it still bugs the shi*t out of me, so I'm right there with you!

    LOL THIS!

    I wonder about that too. Here is my dilemma (and I'd love input on this) - I can reach my nutrition goals (protein, calcium, iron, fiber, etc etc) in less than 1000 calories a day. I typically exercise for about an hour or two a day right now. So MFP is simultaneously praising me for being under my calorie goal and yelling at me for not eating enough. Based on net calories you'd think my diet is a train wreck but it's nutritionally complete.

    I feel fine, not hungry, I love food and eat as much as I want. Should I worry about this? Should I fill in the calories anyway? Put a brownie in front of me, I'm sure I could wedge it in LOL

    what do you eat??? i mean this sincerely. i am often starving still even after 1300-1400 cals a day. I try to get a lot of protein in, but sometimes it doesn't seem to matter--i'm still starving. I'm curious to know what foods your'e eating that are making you feel so full even after so few calories. Although, it is true that everyone can eat different amounts and feel differently. Some people just feel fuller faster--maybe that's how you are. I was just curious :)
