    Recently I've been under my calorie goal, but honestly don't feel hungry at the end of the day. Like yesterday I only had around 900 calories I believe, but never felt the urge to eat more after dinner. I had breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack. (My diary is public for reference). I eat a lot of protein/good fat, and a small amount of carbs.
    Just wondering how bad this is? I haven't talked to my doctor about it yet, so I'm asking here

    I'm having the same issue. I've recently just started mfp again. But for a couple weeks I've been eating really well, similar to you and exercising daily. When I finished my entry yesterday, I was under 400 calories after adding my exercise. But I wasn't hungry honestly. I felt energized and good. A few years ago, I lost like 25 pounds and it got to a point, 'real' food made me sick. I couldn't eat fast food without having stomach pains. Same with going out to eat, I could eat maybe half of a meal before my stomach was like, stop! Obviously I'm not at that point now since I'm back on here lol but it is a concern.

    So, what am I supposed to do? Add another chicken breast in there somewhere? Lol.

    Apologies for answering your question with another question.

    Same here....I think it's the protein and fat and moderate carbs. I just started eating this combination as I have physical problems when I go too heavy protein and or too heavy carbs. I weigh or measure what needs be. This seems perfect for me. I have no problem adding food but have not felt any hunger. If I go out to a restaurant this will give me the calorie cushion. Here's what I've been basically eating (today's plan):
