Could someone please look at my diary and tell me if i'm eating too much? I feel like I am but at the end of the day i still have 300-500 calories I have to eat.

    No. Eat more. The calorie goal is a target you are supposed to try to hit. Get closer to it.

    if you have calories left, you need to eat them. mfp does the work for you. just eat and dont feel guilty.

    I only went back a few days, but it looks like you aren't eating enough. if the numbers are green, keep eating!

    concern your self with two fronts... first set a goal for your net (I shoot for 1200-1500 net, meaning after exercise). Second, if hungry eat, if not don't unless your net is under 1000, then eat something for a snack... it is about balance

    Okay thank you all. Just concerned. I'm used to starving while dieting. lol

    if you have calories left, eat them. there is no exception.

    This is not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. ;). It's not meant to make you miserable. Enjoy yourself as long as you can stay close to the numbers MFP gives you. :-)

    That's the great thing about this site. It's not really about dieting - hell, yesterday i had 2 servings of pizza for lunch, and ice cream for dessert and still came in under my calories. eat what you like, just in moderation. i dont eat like that every day, but its nice every so often

    Your diary doesn't look too terrible. Just a suggestion but maybe add some fruit into your cereal, yogurt or oatmeal.
