    A slice of ham? 30 calories isn't a lot.

    Thank you, that's perfect. I was 30 calories short of meeting my 1200 calories for the day. However, I am already over on my carbs and sugar.

    Do you really think it matters if you don't eat the last 30 calories?????

    I am new to this, and I thought it was bad to go under 1200, would it be fine not to eat anything else.

    I think the point is that 30 calories is a marginal difference regardless of your 1200 limit; it won't make or break you either way. Whether or not 1200 is the right number for you is a frequently debated topic.

    Unless you know the exact calorie content of everything you eat and weigh and measure everything too, it is pretty easy to be off by 30-100 calories doing estimates. I always try to stay fairly close to my goal and just know that it isn't exact. But I also can't do 1200/day since I would get so focused on the number and going over (which I found imposible to not do) that it wasn't healthy. Weight loss for me is so mental already, I don't need any help in that department! It is all about finding what works for you and sticking to it! Good luck!!
