Depending on your level of activity, your caloric intake might not require as many as your body needed when you were younger.
Eating less than about 1,200 calories per day may be dangerous to your health. What you can do it be conscious of every calorie that you put into your mouth, so that with every bite you know exactly what part of your body you're nourishing.
As well, you can 'eat low on the food chain' by eating as many raw vegetables, fruits and foods that you cook at home as possible, and avoiding pre-packaged foods, fast foods and foods prepared by a commercial organization.
Finally, eat small meals -- maybe five per day; don't eat after 6PM and don't drink your calories.
The best advise is that you work with a nutritionist to help you understand how best to nourish your body and lose weight.
It all depends on your age and gender, not just weight and height.
