Uninentionally low daily calorie intake.
Hi everybody,
I have been eating with a calorie deficit for the past two months or so, and my daily goal is to come in at about 1.300-1.400 calories per day.
I don't drink sugary drinks and rarely any sort of crisps/junk/sweets. I don't eat much bread or pasta either.
On a busy day, I often find that I total around 1.000-1.2000 kcals a day. I've been told that this is really bad for you, etc. The thing is, this is not intentional, I'm not hungry on days like these, and if I were, I would eat.
My friend suggested for me to try out a meal replacement shake on days like these. Such as this one:

Overall, I'm just not sure what to do. I love veggies and fruit but naturally, those don't fill up my calories. When it comes to high calorie foods, my main weakness is probably cheese (French, aged..any...) But then again I can't just eat cheese every day to fill up those 200 or so calories that I'm missing. Should I try these meal replacement shakes at the end of a day, after my gym sessions? I've seen online that I should also be eating back at least half of my exercise calories.. which is generally at least another 200-300 calories depending on what I'm doing that day.
Additional info: I'm 20 year old, female. I weigh 87kg/191lbs. Approximately 175cm (No idea what that might be in feet, 5 something?)
I work out 4 - 6 times a week, I lift weights and do cardio.
Some information on my nutrition or calorie intake would be much appreciated :) I want to make sure I'm not hurting myself with this huge deficit of calories but I don't want to force myself to eat either.
