hun, I don't know wether this is the total for today but 890 cals is way too low!
anything less than 1000 is dangerous unless you are morbidly obese and under medical supervision.
I take it as you are near your goal weight, you are not obese!!

You metabolism will get screwed up at such a low daily cal total and you'll start to lose muscle mass which includes heart muscle.

minium should be at least 1400-1500 cals.

goodl uck anyway but thinka bout your overall health

Sounds like you are doing well! To answer a previous question on water retention, I think you can put on 3lbs? (not sure where that figure came from, but I know its at least a couple, plus I eat really badly just before AF so I put on LOADS ). I found an artice online which gives a few pointers to try to reduce retention:

*Limit sodium intake to 1000 milligrams a day. Focus on eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and avoid processed foods, including table salt.
*Aim to get 1200-1350 milligrams of calcium each day. More evidence is emerging that higher-than-average calcium intakes help to reduce water retention and edema.
*Eat small meals at regular intervals, no longer than 3 hours. Choose plenty of wholegrain carbohydrates (eg. bread, crackers, pasta, rice) to maintain adequate blood sugar levels and prevent cells from being depleted of sugar and refilled with water.
*Drink plenty of fluids. Water, grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, herb teas and vegetable juices are best.
*Enjoy plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, such as melon, grapefruit, bananas, leafy greens and tomatoes.

I would start doing the above in the week before AF I drink cranberry juice all the time, plus drink herbal teas which reduce retention (trying to cut down on coffee too).
Hope this helps, and keep up the good work!
