Reply from Mikayla, Age 16 - 08/22/06 - IP#: 24.18.50.xxx Actually 1200 isn't bad. Nutritionists say not to go below that. If you hit a plateau, up it maybe 200-300 calores and see if it works for you. Good luck!
Reply from caitlyne, Age 15 - 08/22/06 - IP#: 206.47.27.xxx 1200 calories a day is way to little for someone your size. 1200 calories a day would be reasonable for someone who is 5 feet tall and 100 pounds. I'm 5'6, 173 and I need 2000 cals a day to MAINTAIN my weight, since I'm trying to lose weight I eat around 1600. Talk to your doctor or take a test online based on measurements to determine a healthy calorie intake for yourself. Good Luck!
