    Once in awhile, it's not going to hurt you.

    But if you are consistently way under your calorie goal for an extended period of time, then you run a few risks:

    -losing a lot more muscle than you needed to

    -slowing your metabolism (the oft-mentioned starvation mode)

    -malnutrition
