not enough calories

Jes21sica

I eat throughout the day, about 5-6 small meals, I only eat when im hungry or once in awhile when I want a snack. But I usually fall below the number of calories i should be consuming. Is this necessarlly bad? Ill still lose weight right?

You should eat the calories MFP recommends! And, you should never ever eat less than 1200 calories a day--and 1200 calories a day is too low for most people even. The less you have to lose, the more you should be eating closer to your BMR.

To eat too little is to risk placing your body in starvation mode--which will not only slow if not stop any weight loss but is also not healthy!
