Default If I'm not hungry and I'm under 1200, is that bad?

Say i'll eat a filling meal and i'm no longer hungry for the remainder of the night. That happens a lot, actually. I'm usually in the 1100's sometimes less. But i'm just not hungry, you know? So...should I eat something anyway?

If you're not hungry, don't eat. But be sure the calories you are getting are nutritious and not junk, yes? Don't eat if you aren't feeling genuine hunger, but do be careful not to over-restrict and then set yourself up for a binge, either.

Slow, steady, and moderate wins the race. Calorie cycling is excellent, provided your lows aren't top low and your highs aren't too high, so if having some lower (1100 or whatever you like) calories days with higher (1700-1800) calorie days interspersed works better for you, go for it. Just don't get too hungry, that can be a recipe for out of control face stuffing. (I speak from experience! )

Like you, I only eat 1000-1100 sometimes. I do what arctic mama says, never usually going above 1500 and it works pretty well for me. If you find that your calories are too low and you're not losing as easily, someone had mentioned before to maybe drink a glass of milk etc. Looks like you're doing great
