      600 a day is way too low, no doubt. But I get annoyed at people who are constantly throwing out the 1200 number like its some sort of magic threshold. I have been constantly dropping my calories per the recommendations of MFP over the last few months (56 lbs so far), but after a month or 2 at 1200 the weight loss plateaued, I wanted to reach a certain weight, by a certain deadline, so i dropped it again. My goal is around 800, some days I eat more, but thats my general rule of thumb. The key is, I do NOT do this by starving myself. I just eat very, very carefully. For example, I cut at least 150-200 calories a day out of my diet by eliminating cheese and mayo from all sandwiches and eliminating the cream from my morning coffee. I eat alot of low calorie vegetables and poultry, and i take vitamin supplements daily to ensure I am getting everything I need. This is something I'm doing for a short period of time, until i reach my goal weight (15 more lbs to go!), and then I will raise my levels to a long term sustainable number. I guess the point I'm trying to make is, 800 calories chosen very very carefully, wasting no calories on things that will not make me any more full, in my opinion, is just as healthy as 1200 calories with 400 of those being empty. Just my 2 cents.

      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.

      Just because you're losing weight doesn't mean it's working - when you go back to a normal diet you will gain your weight back. Plus, what you are losing might not just be fat, it could be water and muscle too. You probably haven't lost as much as you think you have.

      Even with the restrictions of a vegan diet, you could still pull more than 600 calories a day. Dont be afraid to nourish your body! :smile:

      WOW, taking so much pride being vegan. I made a commitment this year to start so yes i'm still trying and yes I have my reasons why i eat that nasty pizza and hot wings ect. I can give that up and make better vegan choses

      Sarcasm meter is fine. Some actually believe that type of bullhokey. Id rather put in the facepalm for the one person who will take it seriously. For those with healthy reasoning sorry not everyone is pre-equipped. Lol.

      Straight up... definitely not :noway: It may feel healthy, but the truth is, it is definitely nowhere enough, especially if you exercise. I used to eat under 500 calories but thankfully I am now eating 1000/12000 calories. I'd recommend you check out how many calories you should be eating according to your height and weight and birth date and try and stick to that. It's really hard I know, I've been through the struggle, but everyday, just eat a couple more pieces of healthy, nutritious food than usual and that way, gradually ease into eating a healthy amount of calories that you need per day :flowerforyou: You'll thank yourself for it. Your diet may feel good now, but I can't make any promises on what it'll feel like in the long run :frown:

      This has got to be a joke or something. You need at least 1200 calories/day...and doing cross fit? You need more. You must have an eating disorder.

      If you are going to create a ridiculous troll post like this, you might want to make your diary private. Just a suggestion.


      Oh, and 3/10.

      You aren't a vegan.
      You aren't only eating 600 calories a day.
      You aren't sedentary.

      Learn to use mfp properly.

      I am perplexed so I am asking the more technology knowledgeable. Do all these trolls sign up for accounts years earlier and keep them dormant and then suddenly decide to troll out in the forums and burn the account, or is there a way to change the day you signed up in the website?

      You are not vegan.
      You do not eat ONLY 600 calories a day.
      You are not speaking truth.
      I checked out your food diary.
      Nice example...NOT.:frown:

      Look, maybe I title it wrong but instead the really question is my energy level so high with very so little to eat.
