I'm always amazed at the baseline daily calories for smaller sized people especially women. Can't imagine living with only with 900 calories a day on order to lose weight.

I don't know how hard it is for everyone but for me saying under 900 calories a day is very difficult. Let me give you an example. If you go to Chick-fil-A, a large fry has 500 calories and a regular sandwich has 440 calories. Thats already 940 calories without a drink. If you add a medium lemonade, thats another 270 calories. So you end up with 1,210 calories for just one meal, and thats not even a lot of food. You can see how quickly those calories add up. When I used to go there, I would order a large fry (500 calories) and nuggets (260 calories for 8 pieces). See skip the buns to save calories and carbs. I would also get a diet lemonade, which has only 60 calories for a medium size. That would be 820 calories in total. Still not great, but a bit better. To get under 900 calories (for me at least), you have to do a lot of things like that.
