I've only had 679 calories today with snacks and dinner. I'm not hungry so does it matter if I don't eat the rest of my calories.

    One day isn't an issue - every day would be a problem. Also if you're not able to eat more than 679 calories on a regular basis I would question how accurate your logging is.

    Why are you avoiding fat? Fat is essential for our bodies. Adding some in will get your calories up.

    It doesn't matter today, but if you continue to eat only 679 kcal a day you will literally begin to starve to death. So that probably matters?

    Nope, that makes no difference as long as you get enough calories and enough nutrition.

    I am pretty confident that an adult human body requires more than 700 calories a day to survive. Whether she feels hungry or not.

    When I was anorexic I was eating around 500 calories a day and was never hungry...

    I was anorexic for many years. Weighed 65 at age 20. I know what it's like. She said she's eating a meal and snacks. Maybe she truly isn't hungry? She said "today" and not that she does this every day.

    I did specify that "it doesn't matter today." If she's not hungry today, fine. If she's never hungry past 700, that's a real problem.
