Answers:
Er!.!.!. no, that's not enough!. Your basal metabolic rate, just the amount your body needs for basic functions if you lie around doing nothing all day, is probably right around 2000 calories!. Maybe a few hundred lower if you've been doing this for a long time!. Higher if you're male, or younger than 30!.

If you're eating less than that, your body is going into starvation mode and causing a long-term reduction in your ability to burn calories, which is going to keep you from losing weight!.

A good idea would be to get an estimate of your basal metabolic rate and the amount of calories over that you burn in a normal day!. Then consume a quantity of calories somewhere in between your bmr and the amount you usually use up!.!.!. and increase your activity level if you can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i feel like no!. why would you be eating that few calories!?

listen to your body!. are you lethargic!? or still energized eating that few calories!? that should help you decide!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your minimum calorie intake should never be less than 1,200 calories per day!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, you should be doing at least 2000 a day with some exersise!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
