A member asked:

Is a 1000 calorie diet too low is it good if you want to loose 10-15 pounds? 5'10 151 pounds.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends!: 1000 calories per day is probably fine, but if you are training in very vigorous exercise, you may require a higher calorie intake. Be certain to hydrate yourself well. And consider increasing your calorie intake slightly, particularly if you get lightheaded or feel very tired. Talk to your provider about any symptoms. Good luck.
