    Unless you are under 1200 so I would not be worried.

    Agreed! Don't stuff yourself just to eat back exercise calories. If you're over 1200, you might try a small snack and even easier might be some juice, a shake or a smoothie since you'll be drinking the calories, but definitely don't worry about trying to get in all 1326.

    what is your daily calorie allotment? I have run into this same problem on the days when I've had a high calorie burn workout. I have eaten cheese, trisquits, and fruit.

    I wouldn't worry about it, you ate well plus you ate over 1400 total calories.

    I looked at your diary, and you are fine! You've consumed enough calories for the day!

    If you feel you must eat, try getting a little more protein in. I looked at your diary and you seem a little light with that. But agreed, if you're not hungry, then no reason to eat since you're over 1200.

    You should have eaten more in the begining of the day. You want to eat 3/4 of your calories from the time you get up to you afternoon snack. Your meals should be abour 300-400 calories and snacks 150-200 calories

    I aggree, if you are above 1200 calories, your body shouldn't go into starvation mode. I had 1307 left today. But I was at 1600 I believe?

    peanuts/chashews/almonds/walnuts are ideal calorie fillers..yep, high in fat but unsaturated fat..and packed with protien. a handful will do you wonders!

    thanks everyone, I did go for the nuts about 15mins ago. But that is good to know that as long as I am over my 1200 then I should be good to go. I mean 1326 is a lot and with out work out's I am at 1390 a day so it was like eating 2 times today.

    The entire thing about eating back your calories is for people WHO ARE HUNGRY. It's saying "it's okay to eat this food back." It's to train you to make slow gradual changes. So you're not suffering, the more you suffer the less likely you'll stick to a plan.
    If you're not suffering, don't worry about it.
