What is the lowest amount of calories i can eat in a day and remain healthy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on activity: Calorie restriction is used for weight loss; however, the proper nutrients need to be consumed to maintain health. The amount of energy your body requires depends on your activity as well as other physical factors. If you are not overweight, maintaining a healthy weight is a good approximation of the minimum calories required, and it is different for every body.
