RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Nobody should be eating under 1200calories/day. Eating too few cal daily can "shut off" your metabolism. Meaning, you will begin burning cal at a slower rate so that when you do eat/drink it will be stored as fat for a future energy source. This also leads to your body catabolizing your muscle tissue to use as fuel. That's bad because the more lean muscle we have the faster we burn cal all day.
