Low on my calorie intake what do i do?

Eat 1000 calorie dinner?

Just eat what feels good for dinner. There is nothing wrong with having additional calories left over at the end of the day. For example, my goal caloric intake is 1500 (500 under what my body metabolizes. But I usually do a 600+ calorie workout. Most days I have 500 additional calories left at the end of the day. This just doubles the rate at which I'm losing because I'm still consuming enough that my body doesn't go into "starvation mode."

Eat your normal dinner, wait a little bit. If you're still hungry, make snack. There are no rules that say you must consume your calories!

Oh, and I focus on the weekly deficit more than the daily deficit because if I keep that much of a cushion all week, then I can eat a bit on the weekend without worrying.

There is such a think as "too large" of a deficit. This can slow your weight loss, make you miserable, and generally it just sucks.

Easy, protein shake in the afternoon and in the evening........boosts your calories and your body doesnt digest protein calories into fat so Protein all the way !!

So I can eat all the protein I want and never get fat? Count me in!

It doesn't even have to be a terribly healthy 1,000 calories. Honestly, if I had a good day, and did a workout, and had 1,000 cals to use on dinner - I'd have hotwings and beer.

Open mouth, insert food, chew, swallow, repeat?

Not that easy if your looking to eat healthfully or non stop for a while in my opinion. Now give me a small pizza thats 1000 calories and I can do it but that just brings on further bodily chemistry responses like hunger after wards with some people.

Excellent response. Eat according to appetite - not what some computer program says. As long as you are consuming enough top quality food, ( fresh, and clean with adequate protein and fat as well as vegetables,and you are no longer hungry - why would you go on to stuff yourself and feel uncomfortable? Or eat junk food because the computer says a certain number is left over?
Get back to listening to your body. We all know when we are truly hungry . We all know when we are too full.
Our instinct beats a computer program hands down in my opinion.

Uh oh, wait until the anti low carbers get a hold of that one!

your so lucky! Wish I had this problem at dinner time! I would say to use them to eat some high calorie healthy foods you may not be able to get on other days like peanut butter, whole grain pasta, almonds, and also tonight would be a great night to drink orange juice or a fruit juice with calories since you can afford it!
Just dont eat fatty foods. Try Quinoa or Long grain brown rice!

Protein shakes are a waste of money. Just go have a healthy meal and enjoy it.

How do you figure they are a waste of money? They are a great way to ensure you are getting enough protein in your diet. I mix 2 scoops of 100% whey protein with water post-training, and another 2 scoops mixed with skim milk at night pre-bed.

I didnt have dinner yet

Your body converts any excess calories to fat period. The human body can convert carbs to fat, it can convert protein to fat, and it can store fat as fat. If you eat 200 more calories then you burn you will gain weight regardless of the macro-nutrient ratio.

Now, if you don't get sufficient protein, you will lose muscle mass and lower you're daily metabolism. That is why sufficient protein intake is especially critical for people in a caloric deficit. As you continue to lose body fat you would like to maintain your metabolish, the only way to do this is to maintain muscle mass. Resitance training and sufficient protein intake are the best way to accomplish this goal.

You see so many people lose weight at first but then eventually gain it all back. They lose too much muscle mass during their caloric deficit, which causes their metabolism to be lowered, which causes them to have to eat even less to stay in a deficit and lose weight. This becomes a vicious cycle which makes continued weight loss more and more difficult. Eventually the dieter is basically having to starve themself to lose weight and they can't help but eventually give in to the human craving for food.

Eat at a slight caloric deficit. Consume adequate protein every day. Do resistence training every week. Those are the only requirements needed for fat loss.
