What is the least amount you can eat without slowing metabolism?

I am sure this is different for everyone, but I am having a really hard time eating lately. (Since I was sick actually). I don't know if it is because I am depressed, stressed, or scared of being fat forever. I just have too much going on in every aspect of my life that I don't know what to do with. Anyway, the point is I don't want to sabotage my hard work thus far by slowing my metabolism down.
On a brighter note I am 15 pounds away from my first goal (to be classified as "healthy weight" rather than slightly overweight).

Hmmmm, this is a guess but I would say 1200 calories.

It is best to eat several meals a day . With at least a 1gram of protein per pound of body weight If you are working out. To lose weight you need to have a 500 calorie deficit below maintance calories.

Fish oil supps are good for losing weight.
