A member asked:

If i'm 180 pounds and 5'4 is 1000 calories a good intake to loose weight?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes that is good goa: Yes, that is good goal, if you can sustain it. Or you will do ok even with cutting down to 1200 calories intake per day but it will take longer time to lose the extra weight that you have accumulated1.
