lack of calories is it unhealthy to have less than 750 calories a day if you still get all your vitamins?

Yes. The minimum suggested caloric intake is 1200 calories. Below that and you're on a fast track towards an eating disorder.
Besides, on fewer than 750 calories a day, I fail to see how you would get all your vitamins and nutrients in the first place. Pills can only do so much. ]
Yes ]
Absolutely not. At least 1200-1500 no matter what you're trying to do. ]
Every body is different. Usually it goes by how much you weigh and by how much you should eat. For example, people who weigh normal (like 110-120 lb for a 13-14 yr old) he/she might need 1,000 calories a day, whereas someone who is at the same age but weighs 170 might need 2,000 calories a day. It really depends how much you weigh, however, 750 sounds pretty below average unless if you are on a low-calorie diet.
Even taking all your vitamins from pills may not be the healthiest thing, since you also need natural vitamins, minerals, and antioxidents from certain foods such as fruits and vegetables to keep you healthy.
Hope I helped! =] ]
