    Is this normal everyday? Because if it's not, then it wont kill ya. Otherwise you're going to have to consciously increase the calories in all your meals during the day, so you're not burdened at the end of the day. Maybe some nice nuts (I never eat them because the amount I want is too many cals)

    I would say if you have already eaten at least 1200 calories today then you are okay. I also agree with other posters that if this isn't typical and its okay to let it go today but just keep watch.

    That's an awful lot left over - how many have you taken in?

    A couple tbsps of peanut butter on two slices of wheat toast and a banana will add in some calories. Add a glass of skim milk and that'll bring you up a bit - by about 500 calories.

    You still have 1138 calories to take in today... WOW, that's a lot. What are your daily caloric allowances from your meal diary? If you exercised a lot, it adds those calories to your allowances, but it doesn't mean you have to consume them. As long as you are meeting your basic needs every day, that is the important part to stay in a safe zone.

    650cals is not enough. 1200 minimum even for very small people.
