| Thanks! I'm 14, but I have come of a year of yo yo dieting eating 1200 calories a day so I think my motabolism has slowed down quite a bit. I'm trying to eat 1400-1600 calories a day and build my way up slowly as I get more comfortable with the program.

| In all honesty, I don't think your body will go into starvation mode if you eat less than that. Unfortunately not everyone is going to be able to eat that much and not gain weight. How old are you? If you're between 13 and 15 years old you probably definetly need to eat that much and I wouldn't recommend going much lower. But if you're like myself, almost 17 years old, as tall as I'm ever going to get and you make sure you get in all your nutrients, you should be fine going a little lower. Never force yourself to eat if you're just not hungry. You can try gradually increasing the amount of calories you take in a little bit each week though. Goodluck!

My recommended calorie range is 1800-2150 per day.
After talking some to some really nice people on this site I have convinced myself that it will work and it is not to much to eat. I was just wondering if my body will go into starvation mode if I eat any less than that. Currently I don't hungry eating 1800 calories a day because I restricted to about 1200 a day for a long time and my metabolism has slowed down so I am going to have to be patient.
Anyways, sorry for the rant. Thanks to anyone that can help!
