Am I eating enough?

It is advised to eat at least 1200 a day but is it okay if I eat 700 to 800 calories per day?
Answer
No. By eating only 700-800 calories, you will not get enough energy, protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other components of food. In time, you could become malnourished, which can cause severe health risks such as respiratory infections, kidney failure, blindness, heart attack and even death. Be safe. Eat the number of calories recommended by the Calorie Target tool.
