Hi All,

I really was not hungry for dinner last night but I had something anyway, I was wondering if you are not hungry for dinner is it better not to eat? I always tend to feel guilty if I eat when Iam not hungry.:happy:

    IMO- to eat!:) Especially if your still under calories. Even if I'm feeling absolutely sh*tty, I always make sure to get at least 1200 calories in. Noo don't feel guilty! Your body needs food, so don't feel bad for feeding it.

    I tend to not eat if not hungry, but I work on weekly average calories, so bit less one day, bit more another generally woks fine for me

    I always eat, dinner and always go to bed hungry. I use most of my calories for breakfast and lunch and my dinner is usually broccoli with Cheese from green giant which is only 60 calories. I try to give my metabolism something to always chew on so I can get it high gear which is one of the most helpful ways to lose weight

    This week I've been feeling a bit under the weather so I haven't had much of an appetite. However, it's still good to make yourself eat something so you'll have energy. Even if it's just a bowl of cereal or an apple or something.

    Your metabolism isnt a car. And 60 calories is not a meal.

    I think is always better to eat, doesn't have to be a full meal but just something. I'm usually good about eating at certain times, but there's been the occasion where I don't or don't eat as much and I'm starving later on...this is a bad thing because that's when I fall into grabbing whatever is fastest and is usually nothing healthy.

    In my opinion, I believe it's better to eat, even if you're not hungry. It doesn't have to be a filling meal or something; just give your body something to "chew" on, especially if you've got calories left. Even if I'm not hungry, I at least go for soup or toast or something. (:

    When I have a lot of calories left in my day, I like to go for sweet desserty things:D like an ice cream sandwich spread with almond or peanut butter and banana slices on top! It's like having a treat meal, except not really because I still have calories left! :smile:
