Hi everyone, I have recently joined my fitness pal, and joined a gym today :) anyway I have a question, I have my diary at 1200 calories aday, I'm getting breakfast, cereal with fruit, a light lunch, usually a subway salad bowl with a bottle water, and a normal dinner, I'm still having snacks in between meals, usually good for you bar or weight watchers, I'm logging my dr, inks as well, coffee, tea and added my workouts, I'm finding when I complete my diary I usually have around 300 calories left? And I'm not hungry, confusing as I don't want my body to store the fat as it thinks its in starvation mode, any tips or help would be appreciated :) plus I need some friends so feel free to add me on fitness pal, Ann

    Check on other goals besides calories. How is your, iorn, calcium, patassium, vit C, A, etc.? You may not be getting enough essentials. If those numbers are low, even if your not hungry, you should eat.
