I think that you're eating too little, you could probably bring it up to 900, and into the thousands if you exercise. But I do recommend bringing it up a little more.

800 calories/day is too low for either a woman or a man.

As a woman you don't want to dip below 1,200 calories/day and as a man, 1,500 calories/day.

To lose 1.5 pounds/week, you will need to create a weekly caloric deficit of 5,250 calories.

First what you're going to have to do is take your weight in pounds and multiply that by 15 to get your maintenance caloric intake..the amount of calories you need daily to MAINTAIN your current weight.

Ex: 150lb x 15 = 2,250 calories/day.

To start, you'll want to subtract 500 calories from this number to lose at least 1 pound a week, since 500x7 days = 3,500, which is the amount of calories needed to burn 1 pound.

In order to burn that extra 1/2 a pound, you'll need to do 1 hour of cardio 4 days a week.  1 Hour of cardio will burn about 400-600 calories.

Of course you could lose that extra 1/2 a pound by reducing your calorie intake further as well, that much is up to you.

800 calories per day is not enough for your age and height. If you take regular exercise and do not exceed 1,400 calories you will not gain weight.
