A member asked:
I've been eating under 1900 calories for a long period of time. did i stunt my growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A balanced diet containing 1900 calories per day is fine for anyone who needs just 1900 calories per day. The diet needs to be balanced though, so that all the important nutrients are eaten each week. If a person happens to be stunted in growth (not just small due to genetic reasons), then his doctor can help look for causes of stunted growth.
