I'm betting you should be closer to 1500-1600 per day.
Yeah, I'm shooting for 1600-1800/day. I actually "had to" have a little ice cream last night to bring my total up to 1800!
I really, really do not understand how my body/brain is working or how things changed so much in a week. Previously, a yogurt did nothing for my hunger, it was more of a (sucky) snack. Now I spend about two and a half hours eating one yogurt (a spoonful per half-hour) and I feel fine. Toss in a piece of fruit around 11-13:30 and I'm good until lunch (150-200 calories for the morning).
Lunch is 4 slices of sandwich meat turkey (120 cal), plus pickles, a rice cake or a babybel cheese, and strawberries (~100 cal for all three) and I'm full before I get to the fruit.
It absolutely makes no sense. The nutritionist said your stomach starts to shrink after two weeks, so I'm not even halfway to that. If the timing of this had been different, I'd worry I'm sick in some way and go to the doctor. It's just really, really odd.
