I only ate 600 calories today..and honestly...I'm SOOO full!!! I didn't exercise just because I'm sore from a weekend of a lot of tennis (I was at my parents, and I CANNOT lose to my dad:). Should I just take it as an under day? Or try to push it for more cals? It's 5:45 now...hmmm. Thoughts?

    I would find something high in calories but healthy, like nuts. You really need atleast 1200 calories

    Since you are sore, you should rest and drink plenty of water. I would reccomend a light snack of lowfat yogurt and fruit, or perhaps half a peanut butter sandwich. You need more calories for your body to repair itself and optimize metabolism.

    I agree that you should eat a little more. You should try not to go under 1200 most days, or 1500, 0r 1700 whatever your bmr is. However, having said that I will make a contridiction and say that every once in a GREAT while if you only have 500-1000 calories, on NON-exercise days, you will probably be ok and not greatly impact your metabolism. However you shouldn't make a habit of that, do aim for your reccommended daily caloric amount 99% of the time.
    Nuts and nut butters with mutigrain bread and or a banana are a great high calorie snack.

    I'm having trouble imagining what it would be like to be FULL on only 600 calories... Must be kinda nice, actually...

    Yes, it's still early in the evening. There's time for a high-calorie healthy snack as already mentioned.
