The past week, I averaged about 1200, lowered from my usual 1350. I take salt twice a day, and magnesium, calcium pills yet when I wake up, I can barely make a fist. The weight is coming off too rapidly, this week, ~ a rate of 7lbs per week. I was alarmed so today I had about 1950 calories and decided to forget about weight loss for a few days.

This entire week, I did not exercise because I was doing other things. The previous two weeks, I did exercise about 6x a week. I'm thinking my exercise has ramped up my metabolism, and combined with my low 1200 calories, it's really caused me to feel weak in the morning.

Are 1200 calories too few for a male? During most of my weight loss journey since July, I've been at 1350-ish range but that was when I did not exercise at all.
