Only - if you are a: Mouse. You will put your body into starvation mode and your metabolic rate will drop. This will possibly make you sick and you will actually gain weight more easily.

NO: You can ot provide the calories, protein, and carbohydrates you need in a day in a 300 calorie diet. You are not providing essential vitamins and minerals in 300 calories either. Please see a nutrition specialist and discuss your special case and determine what your needs are for your goals.
