Alyssa, I don't know how old you are, but I would expect that anywhere between 1600 and 2000 calories daily would probably be a healthy amount of food for you to eat. The posters above were afraid that you were eating less than 1200 calories daily. I think that you probably would want to start somewhere around 1800 calories (smack in the middle) and try for 3 or 4 weeks and see how everything goes. From there, you can readjust either up or down. Your first week or so your going to be hungry/uncomfortable (as long as you don'g have any health conditions, like diabetes), but you should be able to adjust quickly. Glad you've started out with a reasonable plan.
I eat approx 1600 calories daily and still loose steadily (just for a reference, YMMV.)
