    Only if you're very, very short. Most average sized women need at least 1200 calories a day. If you're going to the gym as well, you need even more than that.

    Just checked your profile - as a man, you need even more calories.

    Eating that low will affect your metabolism and health. You will not be able to meet your body's required level of nutrients on 800 calories a day.

    No. You can do anything very short term with probably no major problems. Eating that low over time will jeopardize your health. It's very hard to get proper nutrition in that few calories.

    Hi there,

    I'm sorry to post on your post but I can't seem to start my own topic for some reason?

    I have a question...

    Do you think it's possible to lose 15 kgs in 4 months?

    Let me know your thoughts :)

    No. 800 calories is not enough for any adult. If you are 18, and male, you need much more - you are still growing, your brain is still growing. Feed your body and brain nutritious food, get some exercise. Put in your proper measurements and MFP will calculate for you.
