In the month I have been doing this I have gotten the message twice that I am eating to few calories. I didn't eat until dinner tonight and a late night snack. Is it really going to hurt me to once in a while eat to few calories? Should I go find another snack even though I am not hungry?

What do you do to help stress?
Normally I eat a bunch of really bad for me foods when I get super stressed, I don't want to do that, but I don't know what to do to help when stress gets to be to much.

Ok I am just not getting this- I entered everything so it would tell me how many calories and such to eat- it says I need 2120 a day- is that to maintain my current overweightness or is that to lose the 1lbs a week it MFP suggests?

Do I really need as many carbs as it says?
The report thing says I need around 350 carbs per day- after eating 2 piece of 8 grain bread for lunch (I skipped breakfast) and quinoa for dinner it says I have only eaten like 70 of those carbs.
