Girlfriend exhausted, headaches due to dieting. Should I be worried? Should we be changing things up?

Hey Guys.

My girlfriend is committed to losing 15 pounds in 90 days (CW 160 > GW 145), and has been using the Loseit app to track her calories. She's been doing a great job but has been consistently exhausted and getting headaches. Given her goals the the app is allowing her 1370 calories per day, which I feel might be a little low given the consequences of her diet on her overall well-being. The thing is I've never had to lose weight before, and am very uneducated on what is reasonable concerning calorie expectations and the consequences of dieting on ones overall feeling.

I'm wondering if you guys can give me some input concerning how I might be able to help her out. One voice in my head wants to tell her she should eat more to feel better, but another tells me doing so would undermine her goals. Maybe there's another factor involved thats causing this that I'm not aware of, which hopefully maybe you guys can inform me of.

Anyways, thanks for the help and I appreciate your input.
