Probably: Not recommended.What is your definition of survive ? With plenty of water, the correct nutrients, and proper sleep, 1000 calories could likely sustain her. But, if those conditions are not met, and / or she is burning up far more than that, then problems will occur. Important to monitor the chemical levels in the system. Also depends upon the balance of the calories. Check with the nutritionist.
