You are doing the best you can today, that's all anyone can ask for. 600 calories may not seem like much, but it's way better than zero, which is what you would likely have done if you had just given in and given up.
Keep fighting Hellion, we win this battle one day at a time. It may not happen tomorrow or this week, but it will get better.
