It seems way low to me. Your body is probably in starvation mode. This is what I ate today:

100-calorie whole grain flatbread with cream cheese and coffee-breakfast

Banana-midmorning snack

Lean cuisine and salad (dark leafy greens, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, vinagrette dressing)-lunch

Afternoon snack would have been a protein shake, but got busy at work and forgot

French bread pizza, unsweetened iced tea and fudgesicle-dinner. Was going to make chicken and green beans, but really needed a shower instead.

Even with the dinner substitution, I'm at 1450 calories for the day. That's 200 calories lower than I should be.
