    Sounds low to me. I think i heard once that you should not go under 1200. But maybe that was for my info. When you enter your info in the beginning doesn't it give you a calorie amount you should try to stay at? If you go too much under that you may not lose weight either as your metabolism might slow down.

    I am relatively new here, but from what I have gathered... You should aim for 1200 net calories.

    Good luck on your journey!

    Yes eat more-- you want to net 1200 at least unless a doctor tells you otherwise.

    Sweetie, you need to stay @ 1200. Think that is the reason for being so tired. Are you getting 7-8 hrs sleep?
