Hey all! So, I'm 400+ calories short today but I'm just not hungry anymore. I usually have the opposite problem.
I don't sweat it if I'm within 100 calories (over or under) but I'm wondering if I should force myself to get closer to my intake goal today. What are your thoughts? I'm on a roll and don't want to mess up my success by going into starvation mode. Thanks for your input.

Study after study has shown that starvation mode happens when your body drops below its vital body fat percentage. Being a few hundred calories short one day will not put you into starvation mode. And if you are super hungry tomorrow, you can go 400 above with no problem. I look at it more as a week overall and less day to day.0

I was wondering the same. I still have about 400 cals left over and I don't have an appetite. Yesterday I still had about 400 too not including exercise calories.0

today, shockingly, I got to 600+ calories, and im only getting hungry now. Im waiting for my bread to finish baking, and taking a small hunk of it.0

I have days like that a lot. I am on 1800 cals though. I try and be within 250 either side. I usally if I am low, I have a drink of milk. In fact my new habit is a glass of milk at bed time. I try and eat something, but not juck. Though if I acually feel like a biscuit or something treat wise, I will have it.0
