Hi,

I don't eat the 1,000 minimum calorie requirements and it doesn't let you add an entry if you don't. Any tips for this? Do you use the exercise part to log even though it adds an excessive amount of calories? Any other helpful hints?

Thanks!

some days I don't consume 1000 calories, but myfitnesspal doesn't prevent me from using it.

Just don't worry about clicking the "add entry" button. At midnight, your day closes and moves to the next. Even when I do 1000, it won't let me close it because I didn't reach their minimum recommended.

It let me add the entry but says something like "you are not getting enough calories in". If I do 1000 calories it tells me at what rate I will lose weight.

You can change your calorie, protein, etc from whatever it has it at to your goals

Use the quick adds tool and add in however many calories you need to go over 1000. Close your diary for the day. Then go back in and subtract the quick added calories out.

I just close out my day myself by posting my calorie and Protein count on the front page with the date. For example: 860 -- 88 >> 8/6/15. And I hit the share button. MFP is my personal food journal so it doesn't matter how many calories they recommend. The stats are for me.
