How Much Below Your Calorie Goal is it Safe to Go?

For the past two days, I've been coming up about 100-200 calories under my goal....I know if you consume too few calories, it's counterproductive but, how little is TOO little?

    Try to stay within 50 cals. of your goal your body may get use to the smaller intake, then you may gain weight when you eat your real intake. Not bad to do on ocassion though.

    No way to answer this question... it depends on too many factors - weight, deficit, nutrition, etc.
