Hi!

Just wondering if its ok that I haven't eaten all my calories! I'm stuffed! I've eaten over 1600 calories today and its saying I need to eat another 600 or so ( some extra from exercise ) I don't want to take it as a oooo I can go eat another 600 of yummy food.

Help :) Please

    seems like a high calorie goal for weight loss unless you're incredibly active.

    Bottom line: listen to your body, feed it if its hungry or don't if it is not. Where the brains come in is deciding what to feed it (therefore don't let emotion drive your eating including but not limited to cravings, desires, etc).

    I'm not trying to hijack you post *promise*, I have a similar problem my calorie goal is not that high but sometimes I will have 600 calorie deficit and since I really don't want to go have an extra meal before bed just to make up the goal I leave it that way, but I'm a lil worried that its doing me more harm than good.

    I eat a fair amount of vegetables and fruits so I will usually consume way more vitamins then my goals say I should be eating? This sounds like such a silly question but is there such a thing as eating too healthy? My fat/carb count is usually low.

    Thanks

    Chuckles - I know right. I have my goals at losing 1lb / week with 3 x 30 min moderate to brisk workouts / week and my starting cal is at 1920. That is a lot of food. I have no clue :S

    Curds - not a problem if someone can answer your question! :)
