Under calorie limit at night
So, I've given myself about 1200 calories, since it's the minimum your body needs to stay healthy and I read it was a good amount to eat for losing weight. Well, I find myself under 1200 calories almost always. I'm not starving and I eat pretty delicious meals with lots of vegetables and fruit. Should I make up for the last calories at the end of the day, or am I alright?

I'm sure someone will be answering your question. I'm just curious about what you're eating to stay under 1200. Like your menu? It's been hard for me to stay at 1200. Usually I go over by the end of the day (when I am at my hungriest)
I range from 1200 - 1300. But like I said it's hard.

Lunch, yesterday I had a low-sodium turkey sandwich. I only used one slice of wheat bread and cut it in half to make like a mini sandwich. Whole-wheat bread. I put part of a tomato on it with some fresh baby spinach. Then paired it with strawberries and the rest of the tomato I cut for the sandwich (I love tomatoes incase you couldn't tell, hehe) I ate another little snack pack before dinner.
Finally for dinner I ate a 6oz grilled chicken breast with a bit of seasoning on it, steamed mixed vegetables, and a little over a cup of rasberries and blackberries. And then a snack before bed was a serving sized package of almonds.
That was pretty long, but those are roughly the kinds of things I eat, lots of vegetables with fruit. I know I need to work on my protein a little more.
