You don't want to do it all the time though because if your calories get too low you risk being nutrition deficient and you risk certain health problems such as gall bladder issues. Should I have eaten more to take me up to 1200? I'd have thought that if I managed under, then that was even better.Įating less than 1200 from time to time isn't a big deal as long as it's not a daily thing. How much do you weigh? I'm guessing ~130?

Oh I was assuming you were short because your tdee is so low. Unfortunately short women have to lose weight slower than everyone else because your energy expenditure is on the low side. At that number or below it's recommended you be physician supervised. If you do drop below 1200, I absolutely do not recommend going below 1000cals. You'll lose slower, but you'll do it in a safe way. I really recommend you try to stick with that limit. There's little to no risk eating at 1200cals for a woman. Keep in mind that 1200 is a recommended lower limit because it's safe. If you're short it's usually not a big deal if you dip a little under 1200. Just ignore this guideline and focus on your individual tdee. Neither of these are anywhere close to correct. I've never understood the 2000cal guideline for women or the 2400cal(iirc) guideline for men. Given that guidelines often recommend a very generous 2000 calories per day for a woman

However, MFP will not recommend eating at anything less than 1200cals for women so it will automatically give you 1200cals when you hit your weight loss goal as 1lb or over a week when setting up your account. If your tdee is 1650 then to lose at a rate of 1lb per week you would have to eat at 1150cals.
