The number of calories you need/day is a calculation based on your height, weight, age and level of activity. Your body needs so many calories just to function and if you drop below that, you will do harm.
Cutting too many calories puts your body in a state of alarm, in which it pushes to conserve calories rather than burn them. You start feeling cold and tired, and the lack of energy forces your body to break down muscle tissue to fuel its vital operations. This is bad in more than just one sense, since the amount of muscle tissue is directly related to metabolism, the rate at which you burn calories.
