Actually, no. Most physicians will recommend 1200 calories per day as the lowest amount of calories you should consume (except under very special conditions and constant medical monitoring).
If you are not trying to lose weight, and it sounds like you don't need to, you need between 2000 and 2400 calories a day just to maintain your weight!

It is dangerous to eat fewer than 1200 calories a day for any extended time. I would eat at least 1800, depending on your weight. Only do 1200-1400 for a short time when on a healthful weight loss plan which includes exercise.

No it's too low. 1200 is the lowest & most need considerably more.
You need 3 meals 2 or 3 snacks keeping your fat intake around 30%. That will take care of the calories & not be too limited.

You will definitley lose weight on 1000. Ilse72 was right, you are better off with 2000.

sounds like too little to me, you'd probably be looking more towards 1500 for stabilisation . . if you eat too few calories, you mess with your "set point" and eventually you might gain weight on very few calories
