It sounds like you are under eating all day. Plan your meals out better and there shouldnt be any reason why you would have 600 left at the end of the night.
Eat a snack after breakfast, one after lunch, and one after dinner. Spce them out like 2hrs before each meal. It will fill up your calories and not leave you with a huge deficit at the end of the night.0 -
I usually have the same problem! Like what the above poster said, if you plan your meals out next time and make sure they all are more calories than what you usually have, you probably won't have this problem again. A good way to add some extra healthy calories to a meal is with peanut butter for sweeter things, and some chicken/turkey/fish with savory meals.0

Have a habit of using my calories on lunch and dinner, skip breakfast most mornings or have a meal replacement bar0
-
Not a peanut butter fan, would rather just have a hanful of peanuts and almonds.
I don't want to end up eating junk to make up the calories0 -
Use healthy fats in your foods - cook with them, etc. because they will quickly add to your caloric intake. Almonds are a great snack too and pretty high in calories due to their good-fat content.
Also, I agree with other posters who say plan your food better - eat meals and snacks every day. I eat every 2-3 hours until I have 2 full meals and 3 snacks in a day.0 -
Replace "lite" yogurt with greek yogurt. Fat-free, low fat or full fat, depending on your needs. You'll get more protien and calories.0
-
You've got to plan better. Snacks during the day. I think I responded to a thread earlier that you were trying to maintain. If you don't eat enough calories you will continue to lose...0
-
I have 2 big meals a day and loads of snacks but my snacks are all low in calories so will have to change those. I am maintaining my body weight and do exercise 4-5 times a week0
-
I'm going to have peanuts and almonds before I go sleep, your right the calories are more and that brings me to my calories if I hadn't done any exercise and will work out spreading my food and snacks during the dayy0
-
If you're expecting to lose weight, EAT!!! You can not lose weight the healthy way by starving yourself.
You didn't come to this site for weight loss help if you could live on 600 calories a day. Plan better :happy:0 -
The thing is I do eat. When I was on 1200 calories I was just making it. Now I'm on 1550. There's not a point when I'm starving as I eat small amounts. I'm one with losing and now maintaining0

If you have a blender make a smoothie and add whey protein to it or cottage cheese:)0

peanut butter is junk!?!!! *faints*

No peanut butter isn't junk I'm just not a fan of it. My weakness is coke, chocolate and desserts :faints:0

I am kind of the same way. Eat like 7 times a day but I am never ever hungry enough to eat what MFP suggests. I feel full as **** right now on 500 calories lol0
-
If you're not hungry, don't eat tonight. But tomorrow, plan out your meals. Have a higher calorie snack (almonds, an avocado) if you need to. One day at 1200 instead of 1800 isn't going to kill you, but use this as an opportunity to learn to plan0
-
Drink some cal (Juice and a handful of nuts, or a table spoon of peanut butter, not overly filling but full of calories).
That said, if this is a one day thing, don't worry about 1 day, if you are consistently under then eat/drink up.0 -

Just checked out your diary???
You have not eaten under 1200 cals with 600 left are you for real???
You have eaten 1719 cals and I checked back for the last week and you always eat a similar amount, super weirdo, why lie about stuff!!!0 -
I'd love to take those extra cals off your hands...0
-
yeah when I need calories I add in another protein shake, some unsalted nuts/dried fruit, bananas, high fiber cereal or some plain oatmeal with vanilla extract/cinnamon and maybe drizzled with a little honey...:bigsmile:0
-
Just forget about it and make better decisions tomorrow. Sometimes that's all any of us can do.0

Your weakness is, that you need to get a life honey!
There are people on this forum with eating disorders and they certainly do not need you trolling! Get a life!0 -

Rookie! I'm hitting over 3,000 on days where I run. Add some healthy fats to your diet. My favorite fix for this issue is peanut butter and honey nut cheerios. Yes, it's as good as crack cocaine.0 -

Calm down there twink...she originally posted this Wednesday and then took people's advice to have some nuts to reach her calorie goal.0 -

Minnie I double checked and went back to end of august and they have never eaten 600 cals in a day. the lowest is 850 for 1 day and most days are well over the allowance they have been allocated.
I just don`t understand why people have to lie about stuff for attention0 -
I understand your frustration but I think it was just a matter of not making herself clear... Can't tell for sure because she ended up eating more but I think this (quoting for reference)I'm just under 1200 with just over 600 calories left. Its nearly bedtime and don't want to sleep on a heavy stomach
meant she was netting under 1200 because of exercise and had to eat over 600 in order to eat all of her earned calories.
Just a simple misunderstanding...0 -

By the time you read it I had added more stuff I ate. I have also changed my setting to maintaining my weight so it had given me more calories.0 -
Btw I don't do trolling. I was stating what mfp had stated.
I must have been mistaken and thought this site for to get help and as a newbie I don't know as much about calories etc unlike those who have been doing it for a while.
Opinions are all I needed not get called names so get off your high horse!!0
