Usually, if it's telling you to eat too few calories, like that, you have your goal dates too close together and are trying to lose too much weight too quickly.

1200 is sort of an arbitrary figure... you might actually need more calories than that, but you have to calculate that, based on your current height, weight, age and activity level.

Surely no one should be advised to eat less than 1000 calories. Maybe ur trying to lose weight too quickly

No, eating that few calories will cause your body to hold onto fat stores, because there isn't enough food coming in.  Women should never go below 1200 calories/day.
