A member asked:
I've heard that a 1300 calorie diet is too low, so how many calories should i have for extreme fat loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on your weig: If you have excess of weight(and you need to lose weight) then 1300 calories is not low unless you are an athlete and exercise a lot. Most healthy people need between 1500 to 2, 000 calories per day if they have normal weight and normal activity.
