Is eating 1100 calories a day safe? been doing it for 8 months have lost 30 pounds. weight is 124 now at 5'2. should i up my calories now?

Healthy weight loss: Congratulations on your 30 lbs. lost! The answer to your question isn't quite so simple. 1100 calories daily may be appropriate for your goals and your body. However, if you notice a lack of energy, chronic fatigue, tired all the time, you may not be eating enough calories. You should learn what your healthy weight range is for your height. Being underweight can lead to serious health issues.
