I dont know where you are getting these numbers but that would kill you. Try another weight loss site. Research and read but that number is wrong. 1200 calories a day is usually a diet but there are equations that you can plug your numbers into for the correct calories for you.
874 seems REALLY low. What did you tell it? If you set a weight loss goal, maybe you're trying to lose too much too fast?

Hi!
I am not sure why you are getting this low calorie count. Maybe you have put in a lot of weight and need to reduce your calorie count drastically. What I can suggest is that bring down your calories slowly. The decrease in calorie count should be such that it should not keep you hungry, or expect drastic changes in food habits from you. Also slowly increase the exercise levels especially aerobics to burn more calories. So with time there will be a reduction in calorie intake and a increase in calorie burning with effective and sustained weight loss. Look for healthier cooking options for meals you love, and slowly cut down on the fat in it so as to not irritate your taste buds much. Eat lots of fruits and non-starchy green veggies, go slow on fats, eat carbohydrates in moderation and increase your protein intake (lean cuts, whites of eggs etc). Drink plenty of water and non fattening fluids such as clear soups etc. Look for hidden calories in salads and soups and avoid them (eg: cheese, butter, dressings etc). Hope this helps. Take care!
