Is it safe to eat 900-1000 calories a day?

Yes, depends : Weight loss depends entirely on consuming less calories than are utilized. Your body habitus is a major variable here. If you eat only 1000 calories/day, then you are already consuming less than the average adult requires. Be careful to maintain proper nutrients in those 1000 calories. It can be done safely, but you should have your doctor's guidance.
