I'm not hungry...

All day today I have not any appetite. I did just force myself to eat about a cup of chicken stir fry. It's almost time for my period and I'm usually the opposite, like I want to eat everything in sight! So here is my question... If I don't eat anything more for the day, do I have to make up for it tomorrow? Like instead of having 1200 calories, should I have 2000 to make up for what I didn't eat today? I'm just starting out with this weight loss stuff so I'm not 100% sure on how it works. :) TIA!

eat regularly tomorrow

I know that some people on here aim for a weekly calorie goal instead of a daily one. So I am guessing it would be alright if your not really that hungry today as long as you make up for it tomorrow. Once again its just about calories in and calories out.

As it is unusual for you at this time of the month to have no appetite, you could be getting a cold or coming down with something, in which case if your appetite does return tomorrow then eat comfortably which certainly could mean 2000 calories.

Also, are you normally restricting to only 1200 calories a day? Just as a reminder, which you likely know, that's for pursuing reasonable weight loss if you are a completely sedentary woman (which very few are -- it means you rarely move from a couch and certainly don't do household chores or care for kids).

In any case, I hope it's not a cold and that you feel great tomorrow.

if you only ate 1 cup of stir fry that's about 200-300 cals, you should definitely not make this a habit. also, if you're STARVING tomorrow, do not restrict to your usual calorie amount or you might end up binging later. be careful with eating so little though, that's all i will say.
