I eat approximately 1500-1700 calories per day and I'm always perfectly full. 20/F, 5'4 127lbs. Is this a general rule for ALL women, or not?

I think that if you eat this much it is not starving, but you will slowly lose weight even if you don't want to. If you exercise daily, ten you will have even a greater chance of losing weight. Now if you don't wan this to happen, then you might want to add the calories just a bit to maybe 1800. If you start gaining weight at this much calories, then you will need to lower them to stay at the weight that you want. This is a general rule for everyone.
