So it could be bad to eat so little really no?

Well I am not hungry today since I am not feeling good but normally I need something every 2 hours. LOL

It's not exactly 1500, that's just a rough ballpark. There's a formula you can use to calculate exactly how many calories a day you burn.

Women: BMR = 655 + (9.6 X wt in kg) + (1.8 X ht in cm) - (4.7 X age in years)


This will calculate your basal metabolic rate. To find your maintenance level (break-even), you must multiply your BMR by an activity factor. These can be found here:
  1. If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
  2. If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
  3. If you are moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
  4. If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
  5. If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9
