Not eating enough?

Since I started tracking my food intake on this site I have in turn started to make better choices. Adversely, I also on some days have not been eating enough calories. I try to eat healthy and make good choices, but I don't want my deficit to be too great either. I am running a lot and I burned over 500 calories yesterday between running and swimming. The site says that I should take in 1700-1800 some odd calories in order to have a 500 calorie deficit to lose weight. After burning another 500 calories, I would have had to eat 2300 calories yesterday. I only ate 1831 calories.

Will this be a problem in not taking in enough calories? I felt full most of the day and I didn't try to starve myself, though I felt pretty tired after a 2.5 mile run. I ate pretty healthy meals and some healthy snacks in between. I went out last night and bought some almonds and clif bars to help supplement throughout the day.

Any suggestions?
