You are either a very small person, or you are not accurately counting your calories. The reason some people can subsist on less than the recommended caloric intake is that the recommendation is an average. If you are below average in size and/or activity level, then you need a below average amount of calories.

- MustardTiger 10y agoYes, it is very possible that it would matter greatly. People routinely count their calories at 1/3 of what they are really consuming. Get a scale, weigh your food. It is the only way to get useful accuracy.
- dclowd9901 10y agoI've lost 40 pounds before. I'm not new to how to do it. I know my input is anecdotal but I gave it because apparently it's been backed up by hard evidence.
- MustardTiger 10y agoIt has not. Hard evidence constantly has shown the opposite. The only "evidence" that supports you is "studies" that use self-reported data. Which is worthless. Every study where people's caloric intake was measured for them shows that your belief is mistaken.
