Thats a heck of a lot of little calories to be taking in, ideally our bodies need around 1200 - 1400 to function efficiently, otherwise they tend to go into 'starvation mode' by where calories are reserved and stored as fat in order to sustain the body in times of starvation, often reversing, or having a paradox effect on weight loss. Just my 10 cents on your calories :)

As for the counting, it all seems right to me, good job at watching them closely, a lot of people tend to misread and misjudge, keep up the good work.
 
thanks for the advice hun :)
ill try fit more calories in tomorrow... i just felt full after all of that, it may not seem much but its all realy healthy and filling, i went to bed early so didnt have any late night snacks which is probably why the calories are on the low side, feel better for it as i usually stuff my face at 11pm lol. so yeah, im realy gona stick to this diet.. shall fill everyone in on other meals & results next time i get on the computer, will be next weekish.
