    You should never go below 1200 calories. Put in your info and see what comes up, but the lowest is 1200.

    Not at all. Your BMR calories are how many calories it takes for you to just "live" through the day. That's how many calories you expend in a day if you just stayed in bed all day. You need to take in that many calories just to stay healthy. When adjusting your caloric intake for dieting, don't go below your BMR calories. Hope that helps some.
