eating too little calories?

AlexaRinger · September 2012

So ive been recommended by MFP to eat 1200 calories a day... I tend to eat around 1000 calories and tend to exercise at least 200-300 a day off of that... so im left with a 700-800 calorie day. Am i hindering my weight loss by not eating enough calories? I hope this doesn't put me as borderline anorexic either. I've read a lot of the topics on this site and weight loss seems to be a calorie game to me. I'm just worried that I'm making it harder to lose weight for myself. Suggestions! Advice! Please and thank you!

For heavens sake...eat something. You're hurting yourself. Even when you're losing you need to fuel your body.
