What is the relationship between energy balance and a healthy weight?
Energy balance is based upon dietary/caloric intake and metabolism. Healthy weight can be based on values based on height and weight, such as the body mass index (BMI). Insufficient caloric intake can result in starvation mode, where despite less food consumed the body may gain weight, and slow metabolism. Energy balance requires the body meeting its needed caloric intake, while being exercised for cardiovascular health, and to maintain/grow lean muscle mass.

No. Reducing your calorie intake too much puts your body into starvation mode causing you to hold on to food you injest; and it's really not healthy.
Why is it not a good idea to go on a crash diet?
Generally, crash dieting is not a good idea. Once your body recognizes the drastic reduction in caloric intake, it enters what is sometimes called "starvation mode" and reduces calorie consumption to conserve energy, thereby reducing the amount of fat that is lost. Furthermore, when your body has no food intake to provide energy, it turns to burning muscle (e.g. your heart) and even brain cells to secure the caloric intake it needs for you to survive and operate. A healthy caloric intake evenly spaced throughout the day with exercise 3-5 days a week is truly the only healthy way to lose weight.

Caloric burn MUST exceed caloric intake.
