That sounds like a lot less than 1700-1800 calories, but I have no idea of how big your lunch is. Most full meals are about 600 calories or so, so adding just an english muffin and peanut butter (120 Kcals for the muffin, another 80-90 for the p.b.), a 6" sub (about 350 kcals) or a salad (could be 100 or 1000, depending on add ons and dressing), could put you well below that. Also, going below 800 calories or so a day could make your body think you're starving and slow down your metabolism. Just be careful is all I'm sayin'.
