Every person is different, it depends on how active you are, how much you weight, etc.

Ruchel go to www.sparkpeople.com

There you will find out how many calories you need daily, depending on how much you want to lose and what your weight is now.

I'm suposed to be eating between 12-15 calories a day.
It didnt help me at all when I calculated them every time I ate tho bc I was eating junk but just counting calories.

Does anyone eat less than 500 calories a day?

I don't count my calories, but I should be sticking to 1400 a day.

Most people should NOT be eating 500 calories or less.

Should anyone be eating less than 1,000?

Some people might, I have no idea.
Sparkpeople.com (as mentioned earlier) is a great resource for figuring out how many calories you should be eating daily.

How many calories are in a liter of chocolate milk, two slices of rich chocolate cake, three chocolate chip cookies (make that four), a cream dessert (with crumb topping), three slices of bread with butter, peanut butter and chocolate spread (on all of them)...

Did I reach 500 calories yet?

I'm a bit slow today, I can't figure out where to go on sparkpeople to find the calories I need?

Eating under 1200 kal a day will most likely send your body into "starvation mode" and will make it retain body fat (since your body is trained to "conserve" in case of famine).

I went on to spark people and they recomended 1200-1550 a day in order to loose the last 6lbs I need to loose.
