To few calories?

haileeyyy_

Ok so, I'm 5'1 and weigh just under 45kg. I'm not sure if this is a dangerous weight or not? Also is it dangerous to eat under 1000 calories everyday? Don't say, eat more blah blah blah because I'm to scared to eat more. I'm so scared of gaining weight and I don't know what to do. I don't know how to talk to anyone about it because I know they'll make me put on weight and I don't want to do that. I know this doesn't reall have anything to do with general weightless and dieting but I just really need help.

Extremely dangerous! You can eat correctly and still be your desired weight. Please eat.

First you ask if it's okay, then you tell us not to say eat more (I'm assuming you mean 1000 calories and 100 was a typo ).

Sounds like maybe you already know the answer and just don't want to hear it.

At 5'1" and 45 kg (99 pounds), there's nothing wrong with gaining a few pounds, especially if some of it is muscle. You are close to underweight (don't know where it is on the BMI scales, but if it isn't underweight, it's really close). I am 5'0" and my goal is 120; I eat about 1600 calories a day.

So, to answer your questions, yes, I think it's dangerous to eat under 1000 calories a day - really hard to get enough micros, as well as macros/energy for your body. And even if it's not yet dangerous to be at 45 kg, it's close.

I am just about 5" and eat at least 1200 calories a day, also I have been recovering from an eating disorder since June of this year. Coming from someone who has been there, too -- you need to eat more to repair your body, you will likely gain weight, but it is necessary.
I went from 92 lbs to about 104. However, despite the difference on the scale I really probably look better now, with more muscle mass and definition than ever before.

Please, try and conquer the demons. You will be exponentially happier.

This.

You sound you already know you are at a low weight and are not eating enough already. But you don't want any of us to say "eat more"? What exactly do you want us to say, then? I promise you nobody here is going to tell you to continue doing what you're doing. Because what you'redoing is dangerous and self-destructive.

Please see a therapist before you really hurt yourself and/or develop a permanent unhealthy relationship with food. It can take YEARS to unlearn negative thinking about food. Start now.

Yes of course it is dangerous to eat that little. A year and a half ago I was 80 lbs at 5'6, I know there is so much more to it than "just eat more" I understand you fear. I still struggle with the thoughts and still do not eat enough everyday. I tried recovery on my own but after about 6 months I started going to a nutritionist that specialized in eating disorders and she helped tremendously. But the biggest thing that helped me was going to the gym and seeing all of those ladies with beautiful, strong, sexy figures and wanting to look like that even though I was skin and bones. My mind knew what was attractive and sexy but my fear would not let me eat. Hope that makes sense. So I started asking people about work outs and how they ate. I worked with a trainer at my gym and she helped me to stay on track and I could just trust her and not my head. If you would like to talk more...I would love to. Hope anything I said helps. There is hope. Take care.

I believe you meant 1000 cals per day and not 100. Either way, its important to remember that not eating enough calories could have an adverse affect on you, your body may go into starvation mode and you end up not losing weight and sometimes gaining weight. I know nothing about how much calories a person should or shouldn't eat but I'm sure you have at least a 1200 goal on MFP. If your fear is eating too much calories, add some form of exercise to your routine so those calories earned through exercising will give you extra "eating" room then you can NET 1000 per day.

Yes, it's too few.

Eat more, be healthy. Maybe consider seeing a doctor.
