    Either you are allowed a LOT of calories a day, or you had VERY small meals, or you excercized a lot.
    How else can you have that many calories left?

    Well ...what was your caloric count on your meals and how much did you burn excercising..that will give you the reason your remaining number is so high ....BUT if your not hungry dont force it just have a nice healthy snack before bed and make your goal tomorrow to get in at least your min calorie amount

    I am betting you did a bit more exercise, I like to add all my exercise at the end of the day so I don't eat my hard work away. First meet your goal calories, that is essential. I think the one flaw in MFP is that it gives you too many extra calories after you really have a hard workout. Just get 3 balanced meals a day with 300-450 calories or so, watch the sugar, and maybe 1-2 100 calorie snacks in a day and you should be on your way to doing great!
