Wonder if I am doing something wrong.

Ok, first let me say that it has only been two days since starting a redesigned eating plan. MFP says I need to eat around 2700 in order to lose 2 lbs a week. I posted a food diary on Friday to reflect what I had been eating before the change. Two days into the plan I have posted similar days just under 1500. I feel full. Saturday left be a bit craving at the night, but not today.
I am wondering if I have cut enough out, or if I am doing something wrong? I figure when I start working out harder and with more intensity that the hunger will be there and my thoughts might change. But I thought, I would ask for some of ya'll to check out my diary and offer some insight I may not be seeing. Thank you in advance.

    Two days?! Give it two weeks (or more), then reevaluate.

    If MFP says you should eat 2700 why are you only eating less than 1500? Your diary is locked for viewing. But 1) Nothing happens in 2 days and 2) you'll likely burn out quickly if you drastically under eat.

    HI TX,

    Two days is nothing. Give it time. Try and remember that you are making a lifestyle change.

    You diary is still locked.

    Diary should be unlocked now. I am eating less than 1500 because I feel full and satisfied after each of my meals. One of the reason why I am asking if I am doing something wrong or the calculations are off. I am eating 400-600 cal meals. It's NOT that I think I am eating too much, or think I should be eating less. I do understand it has been two days... but in my post I acknowledge that fact and spoke of fixing an issue before it became one. And I have no clue what that might be because I feel full on a 1500 meal plan.
