By the way, you are never going to achieve anything by eating 700 calories other than harm your body.
Your body wont even be functioning properly at that low, seriously need to take a closer look at your diet.

I copied the paragraph below from an article on MSN. To be honest, it's taken from an article in Men's Health Magazine, but I've heard this from a few other sources on womens' health too.
To drop weight, you need to cut back on certain foods—but not dairy. Milk and other dairy products can help dieters slim down and beef up, say Canadian researchers. Their study found that heavy people who exercised every day and followed a high-protein, high-dairy (and calorie-restricted) diet for 16 weeks lost about 10 pounds of fat and gained 1 1/2 pounds of muscle. (Those who ate less dairy and protein still lost weight, but they also lost muscle.) The reasons: Milk may help regulate appetite, and whey protein can activate muscle growth.0 -

700-800 calories a day is not enough. If you eat to little food your body goes into starvation mode and stores all the food it can in fat, it's better to eat more then to eat to little. Plus as soon as you eat over the amount it will go straight to fat. And you may lose weight but it really really easy to gain it all back again and more, it's not worth it.0

If you are not hungry, then don't eat... thats pretty straight forward.
I tend to follow my body's schedule, and if I'm not hungry for breakfast then I eat a huge lunch... and if I'm not hungry for dinner, then I don't eat dinner, and if I'm hungry before bed, then I'll eat something.
As far as foods go, you can eat pretty much what you want as long as it fits in your calories/macros.0 -

I hope this image of a food pyramid gives you a bit of a better understanding of your foods.
http://www.freshandnaturalfoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Food-Pyramid.jpg
And although nearly all foods contain more than just one nutrient, the basics are......
Wholegrain, Veg & Fruit = Carbs
Meat, Fish & Eggs = Protein
Nuts, Seeds & Oils = Healthy Fats
You will have to click the image as it is absolutely huge to have displayed on this forum0 -

There aren't really any "good" foods or "bad" foods. There are just foods. If you are trying to lose weight then you need to determine your TDEE (the number of calories you burn in all your activities per day) and eat less than that. Depending on how much weight you have to lose deduct 10% to 20% from your TDEE. That's it. That's all you have to do to lose weight. You can actually eat whatever you want within those guidelines (any digestive or other health issues aside).
Ideally you should eat enough protein to support your lean body mass and do some regular resistance training so that you lose fat rather than muscle. Throw in some cardiovascular exercise for heart health and you have the complete package.0 -

Thanks babe I found this helpful I love having a glass of milk but I stopped that yday thinking it was bad x0 -
I used to be like that. I'd barely eat and think that by not really eating, I'd lose weight....Clearly that didn't work! I'm going to give you an example for what I do, hopefully it will help you :-)
Breakfast: 1 scoop of chocolate whey protein, 1 cup water, 3 ice cubes and a banana blended
Snack: Fuji apple
Lunch: 1 packet of oatmeal, 1 80 calorie yogurt
Snack: 2 (60 calorie) cheese sticks
Dinner: (this is not the same everyday) 8oz of chicken or beef, 1-2 cups of vegetables and sometimes I have some rice
Snack: 15g protein bar (200 calories each)
That's it.
I usually have about 1500 calories worth of food a day, but I burn over 400 calories in the gym every morning. I'm getting married and my fiance's best friend is a personal trainer and nutritionist, so he's helping me out with ideas and on the workout front. (I'm also recovering from thyroid cancer) .
Hope this helps!! Feel free to add me or message me :-)0 -

Even if you find that you just don't "feel" hungry, that doesn't mean that you are not meeting your calorie intake needs. You could pick more calorie dense foods, such as natural peanut butter, almonds or other nuts, avocados, greek yogurt, cheese, use flaxseed and cook with EVOO...to name a few. Lean meats, such as chicken, fish and lean cuts of red meat are also good protein sources and offer more calories given their portion size.0

No food is good or bad. If you allow yourself enough calories and watch your micronutrients, you can eat whatever you want in moderation.0
