I hate to sound awful or like I promote starvation, but I never eat over 1000 calories a day, sometimes less than that, and I'm perfectly healthy.
The recommended daily allowance is merely a guideline, it all depends on your natural appetite and body shape/size.
I'm 5"6 and naturally quite small so I have a very small appetite.
I can't see that it is as I went to my doctor reecently and asked for slimming pills she refused and gave a diet sheet that has 10 breakfasts of 250cals, 11 lunches of 300cals and 10 dinners of 350cals which you choose one of for each meal, it also keeps in mind things like milk in your tea and spreads on your toast or bread. Personally 1000cals a day is not enough for me by only eating 3 meals a day. Instead I use special k. I eat special k for breakfast around 9am, fruit at 11, one of the meals for lunch or dinners on sheet at 1pm, fruit at 3, special k at 5, special k bar at 7. This gives me around 1000cals a day but I am never hungry. altough I did ony start yesterday lol. So no I don't think 1000cals a day is starvation as my doctor would not have given me this sheet if it was.
