    Oh please. One was written by an RD. I really don't think your own personal observations from time spent in MFP forums on what percent of people fail at what calorie levels is more authoritative.

    Besides, I posted a peer reviewed meta-analysis that refuted your whole premise and you ignored that.

    And "Dr." Oz is supposedly a "doctor" too and yet he gives terrible "advice". This is the problem we have today with a lot of people. No one questions anything. If it's on TV or written by some "reputable" media source(Oprah, HuffPo, Livestrong etc), they take it as gospel. I see my own mother falling for this crap all the time. People need to do what works for them, of course. However, you can't deny there is a *kitten* ton of horrible advice out there from some allegedly more "authoritative" sources.

    If 1200 isn't working, all anyone is suggesting is that maybe it's not enough food and for a good majority of people, it is not. Perhaps the way the post was worded wasn't well thought out but that's the gist of it.

    That was my point so how are you contradicting me? Basically what I am trying to say is that most people should not be eating so little, especially people around my height and weight.

    Keyword most. Title would have been accurate if it read "1200 cal is NOT enough for most adults"

    Yep, than I guess I am not most of them. 1200 cal is just fine for me.
