    Good Morning Ellie!,

    Have a look at your Total Daily Energy Expenditure, TDEE Calculator

    Set yourself to "sedentary" (we all are, I'm a 6x/week powerlifter but I work an office job so I use sedentary). Then choose "cutting". This should put you in a comfortable, and more importantly, sustainable nutritional position. Set MFP to match.

    You're going to make it :)

    I am not going to read through all the comments to see if someone has already said this but try breaking your meals into 5 smaller meals a day if that's still far from your calorie goal then try smoothies ect. I struggle aswel I only eat around 1500 and my recomended is 2700. To compensate I consume calories via liquid 2-3 times a day, i also started having the odd beer some nights. Try at least hit your protien goal from 1000calories then work up from that
