- sumtechguy 6y agoDepends on what you are trying to do. Someone I know who is losing weight they are on 900-1000 a day set by a nutritionist. Lots of vitamins to pick up the slack on other things. It also depends on what you eat. That number also varies between people. 1500 I would maintain my weight or gain slightly.
- silviogutierrez 6y agoTemporarily, sub 1100 can work very well for losing weight. You want resistance training and very high protein to avoid muscle loss. This is better known as the Protein-Sparing Modified Fast (PSMF). Still an intense diet — after all it's an intelligent way to crash diet. Long-term... not such a good idea unless you are obese.
