It won’t let me close the diary, I have chose 1200 calories and even though I’m at the amount, it says I have to eat more.

    1500 is the minimum amount a male should eat not 1200

    Why is so important to close your diary anyway?

    Is this a trick question?
    As a Male. 1500 is the absolute bare minimum.
    If you exercise, you need to eat back some of those additional calories as well.
    Continually eating only the bare minimum is counter productive.
    Take it from someone who has been there.
    This is a Marathon not a Sprint!

    Why as a male are you eating at such a low level?

    You have a solution right there, written by yourself: you have to eat more.
    As others have said before, MFP won't let you log dangerously low amount of food and then call it done day.
