I'm 34 years old, 5'1", 110 pounds, and I estimate my daily caloric consumption at about 1700 calories from mostly whole, clean foods. I work out vigorously 3 days per week with 2 days devoted to intermediate yoga, but I have a very sedentary job. I feel like I have plenty of energy to carry out my daily activities and don't suffer from fatigue, dizziness, or headaches. Is it safe for me to assume that I'm consuming enough calories so long as I maintain my current weight? Thank you!
How do I know if I'm eating enough?

You say that you are maintaining your weight. If your actual goal is to maintain your current weight (and remain at your current level of fitness) and you are not suffering from any form of exhaustion, muscle fatigue, aches or weakness on the diet you are on, then yes, 1700 calories per day it is a sufficient caloric intake.
