1200CALORIES--its been everywhere on this site, and for good reason. Experts say its the lowest you should go daily in order to get the proper nutrition your body needs and keep you out of "startvation mode." But, i was reading something online about that. Apparently that is only a guide line. There is no real limit, no real standard for EVERYONE. A small person who does little to no exercise, might be perfectly fine on 900cal. Where as a big athletic kid might need as much as 2000cal. Its a tough thing to try and figure out, espcially cuz there is no machine or test to tell you what your own perfect cal limit is. Dont take this message as an excuse to start eating 500cl a day and claiming its your own personal limit. I just thought it was interesting. So if you find that you can still lose weight in the long run and not be hungry everyday on only 1000cal, dont flip out. Likewise, if you arent losing weight with 1200cal, maybe its not enough for you. good luck everyone!
