I've started logging calories recently and since I am short (160cms) and am only looking to lose 5-6 kilos, online calorie calculators advised me to go on a 1100 calories/day diet. I upped that to 1200 calories, because it would have been unhealthy otherwise, apparently and I feel like if I consume the right foods, then I can stay on 1200 calories a day somewhat comfortably. Eating out is almost always out of the question, though.
