A member asked:
Is 1200 too low for a woman (158cm, 47kg), light exercise, for optimal health? do all women need around 2000 cal daily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Better see a dietician/nutrionist after conferring with your primary doctor, your BMI is low, and that's not healthy too, need to make sure you don't have a metabolic problem, as low thyroid hormone levels, wish you well
