Only have eaten this much today.. should I eat more?

Stop listening to that crap, eat when you want and how you want and make sure you get close to your goal....Stop under eating thats worse for your metabolism.

So in short eat girl eat lol. If your not real hungry get a spoon and curl up with the pb jar on the couch and have a couple spoon fulls....Good fats, high protein and lots of calories and uber tasty

When you eat is hardly as important as what you eat. You could eat your whole days calories at midnight right before you went to sleep and it wouldn't matter. Except you would probably be uncomfortable all night.

Peanut butter with apples/celery/crackers/bread and jelly
Avocado mashed with salsa/sour cream with some chips or on toast
Nuts. My favorites are pistachios and cashews
Cheese. Toasted cheese sandwich, cottage cheese with fruit, over a fried egg on toast

All things that are small, healthy meals but packs a healthy calorie punch.

Usually...if you have to ask then yes..
800? Thats nowhere near enough.
It does not matter what time you eat your calories, only that you get the right amount. There isn't some magic time at night where you have to stop eating or everything will turn into fat.

Eat to reach your caloric intake goals. Under eating is detrimental to your health.

Starvation is NEVER the answer. Find another way. /thread

Did you not just read what I wrote up there ^^ - __ -

Yeah-I read that you're not overweight and you eat 800 calories. That's starvation, fix it. Make different food choices. Higher fat foods--that doesn't mean unhealthy choices either.

I have some days where I eat WAY under also, I contribute it to the day. If it's super hot outside I barely eat simply because it's to icky. As long as your not starving yourself on purpose and it's not an every day occurance I don't see a huge red flag but then again I'm no doctor, I just go by what my body tells me.

I've heard eating after 8pm is no good so I have a rule on that personally. (it may not be correct but it works for me)

Sounds like your in maitenence? If thats the case congrats on being there and staying there =D

Also the OP I not being entirely truthful...i quote from another thread about gaining on maintenance calories

"I had a family member say it could be because I'm naturally a higher weight or something?
It's so upsetting ):
I usually have to eat below what I should just so I don't gain
I am a little low on the BMI chart. I guess it wouldn't hurt to gain a little but I really don't want to at all."

So yeah--she says she has no appetite but really it's fear of gaining weight that's stopping her from eating.

I'm just going to come out & say it, put down the damned Vogue magazine and eat something.

I ate more.
I honestly have no appetite ever. I've been to the doctor. she said its normal. I am a very petite person and I don't eat a lot. sometimes even less then what I originally posted. Not on purpose though. I'm not overweight or underweight ethier.

If you have a hard time eating then you have to make sure what you eat packs lots of nutrients. Lean meats and fish, fruits and vegetables, whole grains will all provide the nutrients you need in small quantities of food.
