Do I have to eat at least 1200 calories a day without excersice ?? If MFP put me 1200 calories a day and if I go over slightly would that hurt me at any chance? I set my diary has lightly active with my daughter excercise and doing housework is this correct?

I think your food diary looks great! I wouldnt worry if you go over a little. 1200 calories is very low anyway. I couldnt survive on 1200.0

Slightly under or over for any goal isn't detrimental. A pound of fat weighs 3500 calories, so don't worry about just some. Personally, I like to look at my diary for a week - if it averages around my goal (1300), I don't worry about the daily differences because each day is, welll, different!0

1200 is low anyways. Your diary looks good to me. You seem to be right at your target goal every day and remember this has to be something sustainable for the long run. I see too many people come on here and try to cut calories way too low thinking that they will lose faster and then they burn out and can't keep it up.0
