What the **** did you put in to get calories that low  Recalculate it. You will be a skeleton eventually if you eat that little. |

We have no idea with the information, or lack thereof, that you gave us.
To know if that's in the ballpark, we need to know your:
Height
Weight
Activity Level
Etc.
But that is probably fine if you're something like 5'9" and 3-5 hrs/week physical activity.

Now I feel stupid, it's 3x that amount  But yes, if you are tall, heavy and/or physically very active that amount sounds about right. |

It's only hard during the first month It gets easier after that as you remember the calories. |

as you get used to it, you will become a master of looking at a certain amount of food and knowing around how much calories, fat, carbs, and protein it has. its bizarre your brain turns into a calorie calculator xD
