How many calories is too low?

shrkntz said: "Anything under 12oo will cause your body to go into starvation mode. You want to make sure you don't let your body think that because it will hold onto all of its calories and fats as a survival technique. It is good not to starve yourself the more active you are. The average eats for calories is about 1500."

It really just all depends on your body I guess. I try to keep mine between 1200-1500, and when I hit a plateau I reduce it."

If someone who knows more about this stuff than me could tell me if it looks okay, that would be great! Totals 1101(Calories) 27g (Fat) 127g (Carbs) 87g (Protien) I felt good yesterday, not hungry or anything.."

Qian said: "Most places that I have read say that you don't want to drop your calories below 1200 a day. Some will say you can go below that, but you need to be under doctor supervision. Hope this helps."
