Im meant to be eating around 1750 calories a day,
Well today I had a good breakfast, lunch, then walked for nearly an hour which burnt approx 300 calories.
So that means I have only had like 290 calories today.
Im having dinner soon, but I know for a fact I won't eat that much,
Might get to 600, not sure.

ANYWAY,, is that okay? Should I just try and eat more tomorrow to make up for it?
I never meant to starve myself or whatever :(

    One day of being way under is not going to have any effect.

    As long as it doesn't become habitual, one day of being under isn't a big deal. It take on the order of weeks for significant changes to metabolism to occur, so don't sweat it. For future reference, calorie dense foods are your friend if you are under by a lot and don't want to eat a whole lot (as are protein powders).
