I think part of my problem with not feeling satisfied at 1200 calories is that right now I need a ton of nutrients for cell repair, and I can mostly get that through cooking fresh, whole foods with careful attention to nutrient content - but I still don't have the energy to plan, shop, lug groceries, cook, and clean up. I started on a supplement regimen a couple weeks ago but it made me nauseated.

I'm slowly working in a little cooking and restarting the supplements gradually. I think I won't feel hungry so much when I've gone a little further in recovery. For now, though, I'm ravenous - eating berries, oranges, whole grains, veggies, etc., but too much is still too much. I've never felt so hungry before. It'll be interesting to see how that perception changes as my body gets over the chemo.
