    It's the minimum recommended intake for a male, but without knowing stats it's hard to say whether it's healthy or not

    Needs more context. It would be a healthy amount for some and not for others. Things like height, age, weight, sex, activity levels, goals, etc come into play.

    I maintain on 3,000 calories per day, so no, 1,500 calories wouldn't be healthy.

    What does "no problem" mean? You may feel fine, but do you know if it's having any detrimental effect - bone loss, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal issues etc? Sometimes those things take a long time to develop or may only be detectable by having tests done....
