It seriously tastes like cake icing. 80 calories...and 12g of protein....0 fat. I'm no Dannon spokesperson....but go out and try this…

Huge Calorie Deficit A Problem?
I have seen a few posts on here about this. I wanted to get the community's perspective on this. If it says I need to be at 1800...and I consume 1200-1400 per day...am I going to hurt my progress? If so...why? I am trying to understand more about nutrition so any advice would be much appreciated.
