in Fitness and Exercise
I want to do another set on my kettlebells and do some cardio. Yet, MFP tells me I'm still behind on 422 cals to eat. I'm not hungry what so ever! It is 8:00 PM at night. I just want to do a little more exercise because I have this random energy boost! So, what can I do about the cals? I don't have 1200 NET as it is....but I know I didn't do enough exercise today to make me happy so unless I burn off this energy I'm going to rocket through the ceiling! ^.^

    Why eat if you truly aren't hungry? Unless you're taking a diet pill or some other appetite suppressant, I think you should listen to what your body is telling you. Obviously, I'm no doctor, take that with a grain of salt! (Or half a grain, if you're watching sodium!)

    I don't have any peanut butter....and so many people have said we're supposed to net 1200 if we don't our body does some sort of starvation....

    I'm not taking any diet pills what-so-ever....I've just found eating healthier than what I was plus adding in exercise makes me no where near as hungry as I was.

    if you're hungry - eat.
    if you're not - don't!

    best advice

    Eating under your 1200 allowance a couple days will not place you into starvation mode. :) That takes MONTHS. Listen to your body - if you're not hungry, enjoy the feeling and don't force yourself to eat!

    Im not sure about this advice...

    Ask someone who was 300lbs over weight how they got there.... they might tell you I was hungry so I ate.

    Ask someone who is severely underweight how they got there.... I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat.

    now thats extreme examples. If you wait till your thirsty to drink water, you probably are all ready somewhat dehydrated. You need to keep up with fueling your body.

    listent to you body, yes but that doesn't mean its always right for perfect health.

    We are not perfect though so its your call.

    if you have 422 calories and you still want to exercise i wouldn't. i had energy yesterday too but i don't want to have like 600-700 calories left. you really need to net your 1200 because that is the lowest you can eat and u need the calories to get thru everyday life. if you go ahead and burn even more you have more cals to eat for tomorrow and i definately suggest you eat them tomorrow :).
