CONFUSED about the amount of calories please help :(

I'm not pushing myself to not to eat anything but I was told that i should never be hungry and I should never be over full, So i was told to eat 1400 Cal (by the calorie counter on here) but I'm not hungry and I'm only eating 600 Cal, is this dangerous to my program or even my health?

Scroll down to the part about Metabolic Slow-Down:

Metabolic Slow-Down Feeding yourself too few calories sets you up for metabolic slow-down. Studies have shown time and again that a heavier person can find it difficult to lose weight, even though eating very low calories, simply because their body's metabolism is burning at such a slow rate. As you probably already know exercise helps to speed up your metabolism but so does eating.

Good luck,

Yes, it is dangerous to your health to eat less than 1200 Kcal.  You will go into starvation mode, where your body tries to hold on to all the food you give it.  As a result, in starvation mode it is very challenging to lose weight.  Maybe try adding some oils or nuts to get your count up, without adding food that is too much more filling.  

Self reporting on hunger can be a bad way to go, in terms of deciding how much to eat, if you're one of those people who does not recognize hunger (some don't, especially if they're recovering from an ED).  You should end up within 100Kcal of your daily goal.  That is an accurate reflection of your body's nutritional requirements.  If you end up at 1200, and are not hungry for that extra 200 Kcal, I would say leave well enough alone.  BUt, every woman needs at least 1200Kcal to survive, so please try to eat at least that.

Good luck!!

That's super unhealthy, you should be eating at LEAST 1200 calories a day. Or else - and I've been through the same - you'll get in starvation mode. This means that, yes, you'll lose weight really fast, but then, eventually, when you start eating a little bit more, you'll gain it all back and even more. Believe me, this has happened to me!!

That's really unhealthy for your basic body regulation, so please, stop eating only that, ok? :)

so do you think that a low carb diet would be a better way to go?

No, just eat a balanced diet within your caloric content.  Your body needs whole grains and fibre.  Carbs are not the enemy.  heavy breads, pasta and potatoes and such are problematic when overconsumed, certainly, but just make sure you stay within your daily total, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, and make sure you get enough fibre and protein by checking your analysis at the end of each day.  The nice thing about CC is that it doesn't tell you to cut anything out, just to cut BACK.  Your diet might be default low carbs, because things that are high carbs are usually high calorie.  So, balanced, moderate diet will give you the desired results if you just stick to it.  Exercise makes life WAY easier too.

yeah that's the weird part because i work out about 2 hours a day.. i really appreciate all the help everyone's given me thanks! :)
