    Current weight is 279. 1400 Calories was placed by MD. No other health issues other than weight.

    Calories are fine, then, so long as you can keep it up. You have more than enough fat reserves to safely provide the extra energy, and 1400 is enough to meet your macro requirements if you are careful in your choices. I assume the "meal replacements" are in there specifically to ensure appropriate nutrition, yes?

    Good luck!

    EDIT:
    1.) Listen to your doctor, not random people on a message board.

    This!

    2.) If it were me personally I wouldn't worry about body composition until you closer to a healthy weight.
    3.) Listen to your doctor, not random people on a message board.

    Forgot rule number 4:

    4.) If you are going to be a doomass and take advice from strangers on the internet over your doctor, at the very least never take the advice of those who have animals as their profile pic.....unless it actually is your doctor, in which case you should just give up all hope, roll into the fetal position, and start screaming sweet Jesus at the top of your lungs.

    Dude, that's not an animal. That's my actual face!
