Does this sound like too little?
I signed up on my fitness pal. I am 5' 2 and don't have much to lose, 7ish pounds is my goal. So I entered all this and it said I should eat 1200 calories per day. That sounds like too little, no?

It seems like they recommend that for everyone! I'm 5'4" and it says that for me too. I changed it to "very active" since I work out a lot and it moved up to 1250, which is still kind of low. I just use it as a guideline and I feel that as long as I stay under 1500 I feel good.

i've recently signed up too and at 5'2 it says 1309 for me based on my current weight and my goal...but when i entered my exercise today, it gave me extra food calories - almost all of what i lost during my run.

That's what I do (minus the very active part)! I usually do 1300-1400 net. I just can't do 1200.

Re: Does this sound like too little?
It is too little! myfitnesspal tends to give very low intake values. Personally I would not go below 1500 calories per day- It may take you a little longer to reach your weight loss goal but you will not run the risk of slowing down your metabolism either.
