    Well, just had a big stalk of celery with peanut butter. A couple hundred calories, so I feel a little better now. Thanks everyone. :)

    Hi! I'm also having that problem. I get that starvation mode message almost every night. I think it might be because I am trying to do that special k thing, where you eat special k twice a day then a meal. try getting the atkins snack bars maybe, or special k snack bars and protein shakes, that's what I'm going to do when I go shopping again. Do you or anyone have any suggestions to someone that cannot eat vegetables? I can eat corn, but that's about it. I just hate the taste of them, not to mention the smell, so is there any suggestions? maybe something I can substitute for veggies? thanks all! and good luck!

    do you like fruit? If so try v-8 v-fusions. Taste like fruit juice, not veggies at all!

    One day isn't going to hurt. The great thing is that you asked the question. What do you do? I'm not trying to be mean, but the answer is pretty simple. You either eat more, or you eat higher calorie foods. You don't need to eat junk to do this. You can add full fat dairy, nuts, peanut butter, avocado. There are lots of possibilities. Sometimes in the beginning people restrict a little too much. Don't beat yourself up over it just for one day. Make small changes. Even an extra apple or some yogurt would have helped. Best of luck.

    This. Maybe have a smoothie or something with your breakfast to add in some protein from milk and some fresh fruit.

    I wouldn't worry about it if it happens every once and awhile, I tend to be under my calories significantly a few days a week, it looks like, but it evens out when I eat something else another day and am a bit over.

    I've kept food logs for ages it seems and always felt frustrated afterward by looking at them and seeing how I "blew it again." Then when it <finally> occurred to me to use them as food planners, all of the sudden it seemed so much easier! I could head off problems before I ate them! Yay! Good luck & happy eating!
