Daily Caloric Intake

[Wendy Peters 1]

What is a good daily -aloric intake? I have started watching calories real close the past two days and the site Im using says I should consume 1200calories a day! i personally have not hit that but am beginning to wonder will my body go into starvation mode if I stay around the 875-900 calories a day?? Im determined to loose weight this month as I think Im very close to my green zone!

thanks for the replies!!

I eat about 1000 calories a day, low fat and high Protein, and my nutritionist said it's fine.

I've had the same concerns. The last time I met with my dietician she said to stick around 800, But I vary between 700 and 1200. I try to eat a different amount of calories every day and it seems to be working great.

I try for 1000-1200 calories a day but every once and a while will go over it to shock my body! It has been working for me! I also do not look at fat or carbs though. Just calories and protein!

I changed my MFP to 900 cal a day, and some times i go over, some times a little less, as I have no idea of what i am eating. I do NOT weight every spoonful of cashup or whatever I may season my food with, so the things I know, I lowered it to 900. This way I stay within range.
