I haven't been hungry at all recently. All I'm eating during the day is fruit for breakfast, yogurt and some all bran cereal for lunch and then a miso soup for dinner. In total I only have 400-500 calories a day and I know it's way too low for me. And I exercize for about 2 hrs every day and its intense. I play squash for 1 and a half hours and then do some intense ab work. My question is if i'm not hungry, should I eat more than i'm eating now? By the way, I'm 5'5 and 142lbs.

A fruit is about 100 cals, cerial, depends on the milk and how much you have so lets say its skim. Cerials about 200 cals and soup is about 300. So depending on how much fruit you eat...lets say 3? You eat about 800 cals a day. If you want to loose weight...1,000 is fine. 400 will just slow your metabolism down and when you go back to eating normal, you'll gain the weight. Good luck.
