I'm just wondering whether you guys generally use up all of your calories each day or not? I'm currently only on 254 calories after a pretty big lunch (I had a rather busy morning and didn't end up getting breakfast so had an early lunch around 11 instead). I'm working 5-11 tonight so all I've got left is dinner before work and then to bed when I get home. I have to admit, I do like working evening shifts... keeps me out of the fridge!
I've set myself 1500 calories a day but I think that on a day like this where I've not ate huge amounts, I don't mind if I only have 1200. I'm using myfitnesspal and it says that I should have 1790 calories a day to lose 2 lbs a week, which is what's meant to be the healthy rate so I'm already going under the recommended allowance by having 1500. I've only just started back dieting which is why I've said 1500 and then I'll drop to 1200 if I need to or feel it would be better.
God I'm rambling! To the point... if you've set yourself 1200 calories a day or 1500 or whatever, do you make sure that you use them all? Or is the odd day not eating so much alright do you think?
