How many calories should you eat to lose weight but not starve?

Answer:
That depends on your current size, but generally, the minimum for a diet is 1200 calories. 1800 is probably better.

Of course, you need to exercise and get your calories from the right kinds of foods, including fruits and vegetables, to give your body the nutrients it needs.
