Starvation..Preservation Mode

Okay I need help here, if you are in starvation or preservation mode how many calories are we supposed to be getting at this point? I get anywhere from 4 to 500 a day? Is this right? Too much? Or what? My nut. said that for me not to worry about how much protein I am getting in right now, but after talking to everyone else on here I ahve been worried about it, and so I make sure I get 60 g a day, is that too much for us right now? I need help please? Hugs Peggy
