Is eating less than 600 calories dangerous?
600 calories is certainly not enough. Your metabolism will slow down if you eat in this manner. Try eating 6 tiny meals per day, say one banana or an apple or a tiny tin of tuna or half a chicken breast with salad or veggies or one weetbix with low fat milk, or a hard boiled egg, these tiny meals will kick your metabolism up the back side.

yes it is very dangerous!!! The human body’s metabolism is controlled by one main factor, your thyroid gland, which is determined on how much you eat and how often you eat. The human body (and most mammals for that manner) work very much the same way. We still work the same way as our ancestors 100,000 years ago, where we would hunt for food and live on that food for weeks. When food was scares and we only ate around 1,000 calories a day, our metabolism would slow down so slow that we would do whatever we can to store fat and preserve fat for starvation periods, our bodies are made for survival. But when there’s time when there is a lot of food, and we ate like 3,000+ calories a day, our thyroid gland would speed up your metabolism and burn more calories quicker. We would then metabolize food more quickly and store less food as body fat. Our bodies adapt to our environment. The human body is programmed very efficiently when it comes to metabolizing food. So as you can see from this, th
