Ok, I burned a lot of calories today (917), but I haven't even come close to eating them back. Should I force myself to eat more or see if I wake up hungry in the middle of the night and eat then? I'm not hungry, but I still have 981 calories available to me. What would you do?

    How many calories have you eaten today? You should eat at least some of the calories that you burned.

    You have 981 calories left??? I may have to remove you as a friend. : )

    Eat something calorie-dense, like peanut butter with something else. Other than that, I wouldn't worry about being under for one day. A lot of those calories were earned through exercise, right? So it's not like you're starving yourself.

    I would probably just bank some of them for tomorrow. Personally the day after a really physically demanding day, I am super hungry.

    I've eaten around 1200, but I drank so much water with these workouts that it has filled me up. I'm going to stay up a couple of more hours and see if I get hungry before I head to bed.

    No, don't do that! I need your support!

    That's a good idea!

    LOL Love it! I had some yogurt, and I could barely get that down. I'll eat a little snack if I wake up in the middle of the night.
