To eat or not?

So right now, my net calories are around 800. I've eaten about 1000, but worked out. I'm not that hungry right now, and it's getting late. I generally eat around 1300-1400 a day, but the site tells me I should be eating almost 1800! That seems like way too much. I know it's not good to eat under 1200, but is one day going to be the end of the world? Or do I really have to down 400 calories when I'm not hungry?

I earned back 400 calories when I worked out today. I will get home from work by 9:00. I know I shouldnt but I will probably have a little something then. I have snacks that are around 100 calories. If you are hungy then eat.0

as long as u have 3 hours b4 bed u should be fine. i read somewhere that it take 3 hours to digest food. i would eat something small and light. i doubt one day under cals wont hurt. i wouldnt make it a habit tho.0
