I'm a 26 year old man. i weight 13:5 stone. can i live healthily on 1600 calories per day to aid weight loss. only exercise i can do is exercise bike?

Must be careful: You probably won't compromise your health with 1600 calorie intake but you must be sure to eat healthy food. Your diet should be limited to fruits, vegetables, and lean protein. You should avoid processed and preserved foods that would be less nutritionally dense than their fresh counterparts.
