Can counting your calories be bad for you?

Too low calorie intake?
So I've read a bunch of threads on not getting enough calories in, but I'm just getting mixed information so I thought I'd add my own to see if I can get any extra input. I've been using myfitnesspal to track my calories with a safe calorie goal (calculated by reducing my TDEE by 20%). However, I've been eating good foods…
