No.
Every person has a Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). This is the MINIMUM calories you need to stay alive, sleep, breath, lay around. Mine is about three times that.
It's based on your activity level, etc.
Check the Nutritional Plan at the top to see what your daily minimum may be and go from there. For some it's a little high, but it's a good guideline.
Here's a BMR Calculator:

To stay healthy you must eat a minimum of 12 calories per pound of body weight. Otherwise you will be in the hospital again. Don't mean to sound rough. Do the math, and start eating healthy foods.

A little discipline at the table and at the gym might help reduce that belly!
