I just started today, andI find I'm not eating a lot of calories. My goal is supposed to be about 1500, but today I've only had 463. Is this normal? I'm not hungry, and I don't want to eat more just because it says to. I also burned 473 cals in exercise. I've doing a modified version of the Dr. Bernstein diet for the past 3 months so perhaps my body has adjusted, but I just want to know if other people are experiencing this? Thanks!

    It's very common from what I've seen on these forums and the only time I think it's appropriate to force yourself to eat is if you have an eating disorder. Give it a week or so for your appetite to come back before you start to worry. Good luck. :smile:

    No need to avoid fat. Add healthy fats to your diet and you will easily be able to increase your calories AND, bonus, feel awesome. I don't recommend eating when you aren't hungry but I don't think it's healthy to eat that few calories and I also think that it will backfire on you if you don't find a way to eat a healthy amount on most days.
