    Eating below you BMR is not have a drastic affect, its only it you do it over a prolong period of time, a couple of days a week wont hurt you, but if you do iy for months on end it will. BMR is what your body needs to run if you was completely stationary, so if you add your daily live in you can underdstand why you need to eat more than it.
