I still have 900 calories to eat at the end of the day

[gold824]

 I am eating healthier and drinking lots of water. I am walking at least 20,000 steps a day. Should I be eating more? It's telling me I still have 900 calories to eat. ( I am trying to lose 20 lbs (2lbs /week) but want it to be healthy). Not hungary untill close to meal or snack time either.

You need to spread those calories out a little more - I wouldn't eat the 900 at the end of the day - if it were me, I might not lose my weight and stay the same - I have found that burning 2,500 calories a day has brought a successful weight loss - 50 pounds in a little over a year to me - love Mr. Bit !

Considering you'd need to have a healthy body (except for being overweight), and you are trying to be very active, not eating enough on regular basis will NOT leave you a healthy body, and you will NOT be able to lose 2 lbs weekly.

Depending on amount to lose, that may not be reasonable loss amount anyway.

And you can screw up your hormones for signalling hunger by eating too little, so don't use that as a sign either direction.

Also, you feeling full, and your body being fully fed for your level of activity on 2 very different things.

Meet your goal. Are you willing to miss your goal weight by 20-30% and say that's close enough and stop?

It's pretty normal at the beginning of a diet to have high motivation and low appetite.  I would listen to your body.  Next week you'll be wishing you had those 900 back and more.  Between now and then, you're not doing damage, in my opinion.
