Should I "force" myself to eat something before bed or just go to bed? I don't want to consume extra calories if I don't have to.

Thanks!
Lisa

    It's calories added up over time. Did you eat more yesterday? Will you eat more tomorrow? Missing 1200 one day won't hurt you but a pattern of that is bad.

    You should NEVER force yourself to eat, that is not going to help. Depending on how active you were today we all have days that we don't need as many calories as others. Keep in mind that is pretty low but I don't know your height or weight / goals either ....not getting enough can lead to binge eating. Listen to your body and dont fret :happy:

    Drink a glass of milk and don't sweat it....you don't want to slow your metabolism down so make a point of getting those cals in. Otherwise you will plateau. A spoonful of peanut butter once in a while will help!

    Don't eat just before going to bed! That sits in your body and just turns to fat because you don't use the energy! Not even milk! If you're not as hungry today, don't sweat it. Your body tells you when to eat.

    Agreed. If you're done, you're done.

    no, you shouldn't force yourself to eat but remember to avoid fat storage, you need a minimum of 1200 cal/day depending on your consumption/burn ratio. so, don't worry about it today. just try to get the calories in earlier. good luck.

    sorry another myth rerars its ugly head. according to mens health the time of calorie consumption made no difference in a calorie controlled diet.

    I have days like that too, but I'm told it's actually bad for you. It can tall your metabolism and make it more difficult to lose weight! I always err on eating to get those 1200 calories at least!

    Absolutely a myth! It does not matter what time of day you eat only the amount of calories consumed! The only thing that has been discovered is you should give yourself at least an hour before bed of no food to help digestion but night food doesn't magically turn into fat :noway:
