is 900 calories a day okay?
i have a weight loss app on my ipod. according to it if i am to loose 2 pounds per week i have to have 700 calories left over or less. I eat around 900 per day, mostly just fruits,vegetables, whole wheat, and some supplements. I exercise and burn off 2-3 hundred per day. when i am at the weight i want i think the calories i can eat will increase. I'm 4 feet and 9 inches btw. I'm kinda short for my age so that makes it worse =[

No that is too low of an amount. That would be called a VLCD very low calorie diet and those are done under doctor supervision and only for the severely overweight. You should probably be consuming no less than 1300 a day on your exercise plan. You may not lose two pounds a week but weight lost slowly is more likely to stay off. Good luck.
900 calories? That's probably not even your basal metabolic rate, which is the amount of calories you need just to sustain life with you in a coma. Ipod apps aren't really the most reliable things in the world.
And burning 200-300 lbs is like.. light jogging for 15-20 minutes... If you want to lose weight, you're going to have to burn alot more than that!! You can't be lazy, you have to work hard!
You should eat 1500 minimum, if not more
your body uses at least those many in a day just doing normal activities such as sitting, walking, eating, etc.
You need to increase the calories that you're burning-do more exercise
900 calories a day? Yeah maybe if you're a rabbit. I, personally, don't recommend going this low on calories.
That's not enough calories. Even on a diet, you should have at least 1500 calories.
900 calories a day - thats not healthy for anyone.
EAT MORE HEALTHY FOOD.
ur gunna die if u eat only 900 calories a day. im serious.
1200 is okay
