Nope. Not good. MINIMUM of 1200 calories. And that's a NET goal. If you exercise, it should be more.
What happens when somwone eat below 1,200? I just joined this app.
Muscle loss, hair loss, loss of period, organ weakness and shutdown...the list of issues goes on1 -

OP, did you decided to up your daily calorie allotment?
700? I saw it when it was 900. Hey, maybe if we keep going we can get up to a healthy 1500 calories!
Maybe I was dreaming it. Thanks for the correction.
My short term memory is.....wait....what was I saying?0 -

I hope you've gotten the message that you're approaching this in an unhealthy and unsafe manner. You need to go through MFP's guided set up and set a reasonable and safe weight loss goal for yourself. If you have under 75 lbs to lose, you should try for no more than a 1.5 lb/week rate of loss with an absolute minimum daily calorie goal of 1200. Take it slow and steady so you don't put your health at risk.3

OP, it sounds like you need some help with understanding your nutritional needs - that's okay. I would suggest you be really honest when entering your profile info - current weight, goals, activity level, etc, and then start by trusting the MFP recommendations and eat the recommended calories. If your goal is to lose weight, make sure that weight is within a healthy BMI (google BMI calculator) and then plan to lose max 2 pounds per week, less if you don't have a lot to lose.
You look young and beautiful in your profile picture. Building knowledge of and a healthy relationship with food will serve you well for life.
Good luck and good health.2 -

You lose some fat and lots of lean muscle....because your body will get the calories from somewhere. Some women on very low calorie diets experience hair loss, your body will fuel your heart muscle and your brain before fueling a full head of hair.
Very low calories can be prescribed by a DOCTOR. But these are medically supervised, shots, special food additives, etc....this is not a do-it-yourself project.
This is just dangerous and unhealthy. If you persist with very low calorie posts you're going to get kicked off the site.

Stick with 1200 sweetie. 900 is not healthy, or sustainable, as you can see from the myriad of posts above. Best of luck on your journey!! Cheers! 0

If you give us your stats (age, height, weight, how much you have to lose) we can help you with your MFP settings.3

I don't understand why people want to eat the least amount of food and make themselves miserable instead of eating the most you can and still lose weight.
OP this is unhealthy. Stop. Just stop.0 -

Age 25

I need to loose to get my ideal weight (what is my ideal wieght base on the above info?)0 -
Uh-oh. This is going to get shut down pretty quick.
OP - this is horribly unsafe. Losing fat, and quite of bit of existing lean muscle mass is not a good look either.
Lean muscle mass INCLUDING organ muscles such as your heart.
Women die eating lower than 1200. This is another possible side effect. May not happen right away, but eventually.3 -

To give you an idea, I am 5'1", 29, 164lbs. MFP sets me at 1200cals. I reset that to 1400cals. I also workout 60mins a day and eat back half my calories..2
