Cyka, general rule for weight loss is 10 - 12 times your body weight in calories a day. You need a certain amount of energy for your basal metabolic functioning; 10 x body weight allows for this. Following a LC WOE (way of eating) percentages are between 65 - 70% fat, 5% carbs and the rest protein (I typically average about 130g of fat, 25g of carbs and 120 g of protein and am losing a steady 2.5 lbs of body fat a week).

400 calories a day is low; too low . You are at starvation levels and in danger of causing permanent harm to yourself. Even the strictest low fat fad diet calls for more fat than you're presently eating. Your body need fat to function and you require a minimum 60g of protein a day.

Also, water should be at 64 oz a day minimum.

Your health is very important, the amount of food you're currently eating is not enough. How long have you been at such a drastic level?
