    There are probably about 10 million threads on here where people talk about the risks of eating below your BMR and eating below 1200 calories per day. MFP will never set your calorie goal below 1200 per day for this reason.

    You are consuming less than 900 calories most days for the last few months. WHy are you tired? Your body is not getting what it needs from your diet. In the long run, the result will be catabolism (break down) of lean body mass. If you are under the care of a physician who is telling you to eat less than 1000 cals per day for such a long time, explain your symptoms and maybe get a second opinion.

    If you are not being advised by a doctor, see a nutritionist to set healthy weight loss or maintenance goals.
