How many calories is to many or to few? I just noticed on MFP that I have only been eating about 300-500 Calories a day, I am not hungry but im not stuffed I am satisfied! Will this put me into starvation mode? PLEASE HELP ME!

    starvation mode takes time ...but you will stall on weight loss and get discouraged fast you really need to eat at least the minimum so grab those nuts and veggies and eat up ...

    Yes that amount will harm your body. The average female human should be eating 1200 a day at the very, very least. Any less than that will cause a significant amount of damage to your body. Exceptions to this rule is if you're doctor says otherwise.

    1200 calories is the minimum, anything less will put your body in starvation mode.

    You want at least 1,000 a day just for your body to operate normally. If you are not doing that your body will start eating muscle which will make it seem like you are losing weight. Try and plan out your meals including the times of when you eat.
