    Let me put it into perspective for you, a newborn baby has more than 600 calories daily.

    You're welcome!

    No lack of knowledge here. 600 has been working for me , its not a promotion but a question. A simple "No" sounds more knowledgeable.

    Can you give an example of your daily food intake?

    My goal is to remain a my weight stable and no its not unhealthy to me. I'm not try to promote this as a diet but it really works for me. I will consider maybe eating more but my options are limited since im vegan.

    Nobody's maintenance calories is 600. You're at a deficit even if you never get out of bed. And there is no such thing as "unhealthy [or healthy] for me." Healthy is healthy. You can't get adequate protein on a 600 calorie vegan diet.

    I will post what I posted in another thread (that was on a completely different level than this)....

    VLCD = 800 cals a day or less.

    I suggest reading this:
    http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/56/1/240S.full.pdf

    It's full of great info on a study done on VLCD.
    To paraphrase it:
    Anyone <40% overweight or at a BMI ≤ 30 should not be on VLCD. VLCD's are suggeste to be sustained no longer than 12-16 weeks. VLCD programs should be monitored by a physician. VLCD enhances diuresis, electrolyte loss, may disturb acid-based balance, and affect concurrent medical conditions. Non-physician attended VLCD are not adequate, and medical supervision is mandatory.

    In other words, if you're not severely obese and being monitored by a physician, get off it. You're not doing your body any favors.

    Umm... really? I'm vegan... have been for years and I eat roughly 4000 calories a day. Just saying since you are promoting a big, bald faced lie that gives dieters, health conscious eaters and vegans a bad name. If you can't educate yourself on eating, you really shouldn't make a statement like that. Your bad eating habits have nothing to do with being vegan.

    I think that's got to be the answer. Six months at 600 calories a day? He'd be half dead by now.

    Um, what? You're going to be severely malnourished and end up in the hospital if you keep that up for a year.

    I follow a mostly vegan diet and have been completely vegan in the past. I eat 2000 cals a day, easily. That's with me watching my intake. I eat a far more variety of food now that I'm vegan too. That's just a cop-out...and actually pretty insulting that you're using it as an excuse to promote a stereotype so many of us try to fight that are vegetarians/vegans for moral or religious reasons.

    Under 900 calories a day is classed as a starvation diet and basically you body will store fat as it will not be sure where your next food will come from. You'll lose weight then gain fat and put it back on and more so start eating more, at least about 1000/1500

    it's okay, OP doesn't care. He know's how brittle bones / hair falling out / being weak is healthy.
