I was suggested to take in 1500cal/day..The last few nights, I only took in a little over 1300 and was fine with it..I am finding that I am not hungry but I am making myself eat so I don't go too low with the calories.. Is this right? If I am not hungry should I eat anyway? I really thought that with a 1500 range I would be starving but I am not..I am content but I am not using up enough calories and searching my cabinets at night to get my caloriess up..Does this make sense? Thanks for the help again!

Maybe you should try adding small things like full fat dressings and cottage cheeses in order to reach your target of 1500.

I wouldn't force yourself to eat more, but if you can fit in a little extra - maybe a bit of olive oil or a handful of almonds for a snack ... anything with some healthy fat or protein.

Christian Mom, my calorie intake is roughly what yours is. However, there are days I am not as hungry as others. There are also days (such as TOM) I want to inhale my pantry. For me, these days usually even each other out. I don't "try" to eat just to make up calories at the end of the day. If I am satisfied, I just go to sleep.

Thanks everyone! I am learning to plan my meals and snacks more evenly thourghout the day so I don't run into that at night..Thanks again!
