Is it normal to think that 800-900 calories a day is way to much? i think so. i never eat more then 1000 and i'm completely obsessed with calorie counting. is this normal?

No: You use energy no matter what you're doing, even when sleeping. Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the number of calories you'd burn if you stayed in bed all day. Check out http://www.Bmi-calculator.Net/bmr-calculator/ from this you can determine your daily calorie needs by multiplying your BMR by a ratio.
