MFP says that I should eat about 1600 kcal a day. Usually I eat between 1000 and 1200 kcals a day but today I ate only 562 kcal :S I feel good & I don't feel need to eat more. I hope that was just today cuz I don't want my body to go to starvation mode :S

btw, sorry if my english is bad, it's not my first language :)

    If you have one day every few months where you just don't feel up to eating much, i think it's fine. It sort of sets off your metabolism because you're switching to a different caloric amount. But you should never make a habit of it. What I'm doing is sometimes, I'm a biiiit lower than my goal, sometimes I'm at the goal, and a few days I'll allow myself to be way under it if I feel sick or something, but not often. You definitely need to eat 1600 kcals on some days.
