What you're doing has a high chance of leading to mild malnutrition, but shouldn't be sustained. You're also losing weight too fast. You should be aiming for no more than a kilo (roughly 2 pounds) a week.
You should (as a general rule) eat when you're hungry, but eat slowly and eat less. After 15 minutes your body's satiation response kicks in and you won't be hungry.
Generally for a male in his 20s - 30s less than 1200 calories a day borders on starvation, for inactive people you can get away with 1000. Active people need at least 1500 while dieting, possibly more.
- jknupp 16y agoI'm definitely eating more than 1200 calories a day, that's the point. I just do it all at once. I'm basically sedentary so I get plenty of calories for what my body requires. Also, speaking to a nutritionist, males can safely lose up to 3 lbs a week depending how high their starting weight is (I was right on the borderline of medically obese).
