Wow, that's way too little.\n\nYou didn't say how tall you are or what your activity level is.  I calculated your estimated BMR and RMR from the website in the source based on a height of 5'5".\n\nThe results of your calculations are:  \nBMR 1,618   RMR 1,557 \nFor an explanation of BMR and RMR and important notes on the accuracy of these calculations, please see our FAQ entitled, What do BMR and RMR stand for? While BMR is much more widely used than RMR, our FAQ explains why RMR is likely to be more appropriate for your needs. \nAs BMR and RMR only represent resting energy expenditure, adjustments must be made to reflect activity level. This can be done by multiplying your BMR and RMR by an activity factor: \nFactor     Category         BMR       RMR   \n1.2 Bed Rest 1,942 1,868 \n1.3 Sedentary 2,103 2,024 \n1.4 Active 2,265 2,180 \n1.5 Very Active 2,427 2,336 \n \nUse of these activity factors produces an extremely rough estimate. For a more accurate estimate of how many calories you burn in a day, we suggest that you calculate the actual activities that you would perform as described in How many calories do I need? \n\nYou really should not eat less than your RMR.

Take in 1200-1500 calories per day.  Exercise 30 min. per day.  If you are a male, then you will need more calories though.

I think 1800 per day is a good place to start you can cut it back when you see you are not losing.  I use Caloriecounter.com to help me keep up with the calories I eat. I also use different websites to find recipes for almost any thing low cal.

Actually, don't stop eating -- eat more often.  5-6 meals a day, 250-325 calories per meal will keep your metabolism ticking.  Then kick it up a notch with exercise -- cardio to burn the fat, weights to build muscle.

That's alot to eat for anyone....it takes 3500 calories to gain a pound. Now you would have to take the amount of calories you have burnt all day and subtract it from the 10,000...whatever is left over is going to go towards gaining.....

It really depends on how much weight you want to loose. How much you already weigh doesnt really matter. Typically, the average calorie intake a day is 2,000.\n\nIf you are planning to lose between 10-15 pounds, cut back to 1,800 calories a day, until you lose the weight\n\nIf you are planning to lose 15-25 pounds, cut back to a 1,500 calories a day, until you lose the weight.\n\nIf you are planning to lose more than 25 pounds, cut back to 1,100 calories a day, until you lose the weight. \n\nIf a person is more than 20 pounds over weight, it might be a good idea to subract an extra 100 calories a day.\n\n\nThe most important thing to do is keep track of where you are getting those calores from. If you are getting your daily calorie intake form junk-food, thats not going to help. Try to fill up your calories on healthier food.

ONLY if they contain all the added nutrients you would need in a normal balanced diet. You should always eat a healthy meal ever day and maintain at least 1200 calories to lower risk of cardio problems. Take care.

What Is The Lowest Number Of Calories I can Eat and Still Achieve Healthy Weight Loss?\nUnless you are suffering from serious or morbid obesity and are under medical supervision, the lowest recommended calorie intake is 1200 calories per day.\n\nFor most people even this number of calories is too low - an intake of about 1400 calories is better. \n\nLosing weight is not simply a matter of reducing the amount of calories you eat. Most studies show that increasing exercise combined with moderate calorie consumption (1400-1500 calories) remains the most effective way to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight in the long term.\n\nTo Check your personal calorie needs, see Calorie Needs for Women:  http://www.annecollins.com/calories/calorie-needs-women.htm

well, yes your having 1400 calories a day, but what exactly are you eating? You need to eat healthy...don't bing on the meats, eat fruits and veggies more than anything, and be sure to keep dariy and grains in it all. I suggest that you exercise, because it will help you burn up fat, walk/jog two miles a day, its helped me, and do crunches...all the exercise in the long run will also tighten you up. \nbut the main thing is eat healthy for sure.

You must first establish your maintenance calories.  This is a measure of how many calories that you would take in to just maintain your current weight.  There are sites with this calculation and is based on your age and level of activity.  (If you sit at a desk all day, your maintenance calories will be lower than if you work as a delivery driver or other job that is more physically active.  Everyone is different, so you have to find YOUR maintenance level.)  Do a search for it.  Then, you would subtract 500 calories per day to establish your daily caloric intake to reduce weight.  With this new value for calories, combined with exercise, you'll create a caloric deficit, allowing yourself to lose weight.  This is a safe approach, since it won't cause weight loss too fast.  Combining this with exercise, as you are doing or planning, is a healthy model to follow.

You may not make it to six weeks!  Seriously, nobody should try to live on less than 1200 calories a day, the body needs at least that much fuel just to survive.  Starvation diets do not work!

800-1000 calories is not starving. if you arent hungry your body is fine. just dont lose too much more.

The doctor regulated diet plan I am using states that continuous, every day intake at the amount of 10 Calories per pound of body weight desired should keep you at that weight.  180 lbs = 1800 calories per day, etc.  Your weekly intake should not vary by more than 15% from seven times this number.

exersize (3 20min+ periods of aerobic workout) and healthy eating (1500 - 2500 cal/day depending on need and metabolic rate)

Are you looking to lose weight? If so, I would highly advise against it. If you are that little and still wanting to lose weight, it sounds like you may have an eating disorder. Now at your current weight and activity level, I would say you could easily consume 2500 calories a day. You should consume at least 2000 to be healthy since you are not looking to lose weight (hopefully) and are very active. To lose much more weight and you put your health and life at risk.
