is eating less than 1,000 calories unhealthy?

It is only unhealthy if not monitored or precribed by a doctor or dietition. Both of mine set my calorie intake at 1000 a day. They monitor me and I am doing great on it.

and the OP isn't seeing a dr... they're here asking for people to just say "sure, you can do that, it's fine."

this is certainly another case of "just do what works for you"... but you aren't the OP. Also, most folks don't jump into VLCD's as prescribed by medical professionals unless circumstances are relatively dire.

I might get a third or fourth opinion if I were you.

Is it healthy to eat less than 1,000 calories?
No. Just no. Are you for real? NO.

I just started dieting and have yet to eat 1,000 calories in one day.
Uhhh, why? Are you seriously serious?

My goal is 1,200 and I am a 5'5 female.
So why aren't you eating that amount? And why is your goal that low? What is this even?

^Pretty much what she said (and omg you have Roland Deschain on your ticker, let's get married?)

Run your numbers through scooby's calculator, eat food.

Darn, I'm married to a man who's never read The Dark Tower.

Be my mistress? :flowerforyou: :laugh:

Edited because I apparently can't spell after my second beer. SMH.

It count on how many calories you need to basically function and than how many calories you need to support any exercise your doing as well as your goal for it. If you want to loose some weight and on the smaller size that might be all you need. For a larger size person as myself I need more than 2000 calories a day and that many I am still slowly loosing weight.

You don't want to loose weight to fast either.
