    My sister-in-law competes in fitness competitions. She weighs about 112 lbs. She told me that I should NEVER eat less than 1,800 calories per day. I trusted her and I have lost weight - 21 lbs since August. I recommended to an MFP friend to try it - she did and dropped 3.6 lbs.

    It depends on how much you weigh, how much you have to lose -your activity level. There are so many variables it is hard to reply with a set answer

    Thats what a personal trainer said, I said, "I dont work out yet ,"and he said "do it any way, eat 1600 to 1800. Eat lots of protein! That means no breads, rice,ceral,pasta and potatoes.
