Please help 
I find out every time I miss dinner and keep around 600 calories a day Fitness Pal doesn't let me to log out.. saying I am dangerously under minimum calories intake. . Do I need to change something in settings so it will just complete my day with what ever calories totals?

I don't think you can. MFP generally advises everyone not to fall below that minimum for a reason.0

why would you want to always miss dinner?

Anytime your daily intake is under 1000 calories, regardless your listed goal, you will get the naughty message warning you that you need to increase your caloric input. It's a health thing, to ingest adequate nutrition it is recommended that you take in 1000-1200 calories a day.
For me, I work at night, so sometimes I don't get all the "traditional" meals in. On days that I have a intake that is under 1000, I drink some of my protein drink to make up for the "missed meals", just enough to breach the 1000 calorie mark tho.
Be well, and don't deprive yourself of the 1000(+) calories you need daily.0 -
Why are you so far under? If you managed to get 45lbs overweight then you're used to eating more. Just eat a piece of carrot cake or something.0

i keep myself alittle under not alot eaat more good calories like oranges or apples with pb0

How about eat the minimum? The warning is there for a reason.0

I got that notice yesterday after veing too busy to eat for most of the day. I had a great dinner, but no snacks and very light breakfast and lunch. So i did some quick add calories to get me over 1000.
Somehow i dont think l'll have to log that dishonestly very often to get MFP to stop telling me I'm not eating enough...0 -

All you're going to do is crash and burn and gain more weight or you know, make yourself malnourished with jaundiced skin, brittle nails and bald from hair loss. And no energy to even DO anything.
And its lose. not loose.0 -
Are you wanting lose weight or shape your body fast? Keep at a restricted calorie intake and you will lose the weight, followed by your will and then gain it back plus more. I did exactly that, several times, lost 50lbs, gained 60lbs, lost 70lbs, gained 40lbs..
Its unhealthy. You cannot sustain a low calorie intake.
Eat your recommended calories, exercise, smile.0 -
MFP is a tool aimed at reasonably healthy weight loss. If you want to use it for unhealthy weight loss, don't b!tch about the features, quite frankly.
Or, realise you didn't gain it fast, and trying to lose it unhealthily fast is stupid.0 -
So...
You're unhappy with being a little bit overweight.
You've decided you wanted to lose the weight yesterday.
You choose to to be blatantly moronic and cut your eating so low that you are going to completely compromise your health so you can be thinner.
End result: You'll be skinny, but if you aren't dead, you'll look like death.
Oh, and once you stop eating like a hibernating bear, you'll probably gain all the weight back. I guaran-freaking-tee it. On top of that, you're burning off your lean mass - muscles, bone density, vital organs - but the weight you gain back will be 100% fat.
So you'll be even closer to death and you'll look even worse than you do now.

If you were here, I'd hump your leg.0 -
maybe u missed the 'dangerously under' as in this is dangerous to do for any period of time. no one here is going to support u being at the minimum 600 cals under the daily recommended amount. but u will realize soon enough when u start feeling weak and dizzy0

Thank you, will try to keep in the healthy limits0

This right here. Lose weight in a healthy, sustainable way and you'll have FAR more success.
Also, eating that little is a recipe for disaster and extremely unhealthy. Please eat at least the minimum calories.0 -
Don't eat too little. It's as easy as that. I eat around 1200kcal and many people tell me it's too little and I guess they have a point, so I'm just not strict about it and eat anywhere between 1200 can 1500kcal.
Sometimes when I've had big meals one day and at like twice of my allowance, I'm just NOT hungry the next day. And then I go under 1000kcal. But looking at the whole week I'm still averaging around 1200kcal.
You need to make sure you get all your nutritients and 1000kcal just don't cut it.0 -
Corpses are thin. You'll be at goal in no time!

I don't know why but by keeping it at around 1200 a day from my experience weight is not going down.. staying the same.. that's why I wanted to reduce it even lower..0

It looks like in your profile picture that you have a beautiful little girl who's maybe 4-6 year old?
You're eating less than SHE needs per day. Look at the size difference. And consider the example you're setting for her: that being thin is more important than your health.
You're her mom, she wants you to be there for everything. Get healthy, not thin.
Figure out your TDEE or NEAT (which is what MFP already uses) and give yourself a reasonable deficit; 500 cals per day deficit will give you an lb lost per week.0 -
