1700 cal/day seems quite low and I would think would result in weight loss continuing also on non-fasting days.

- unethical_ban 4y agoThey use the term "eating freely" which to me would imply the option to consume nothing but popcorn and McDonalds. Or at least the option to eat as many calories as desired. To have a caloric restriction below 2000 per day is a restricted diet to me - not that that's bad.
- ravedave5 4y ago2000 is not at all accurate for most Americans sedentary lifestyle.
- Spivak 4y agoYeah, and having a single number makes no sense because on average men and woman have different requirements. I live a well above average active lifestyle and my maintenance is in the ballpark of 1400/day.
- _tom_ 4y agoMy annoyance with all of these numbers is they are meaningless without some measure of size. I'm literally twice the size of my friend, at the same BMI (more than a foot taller). So should I be eating 3400? Or should they be eating 850?
- greendestiny_re 4y agoI think I have the answer. You're supposed to: - count your calories and maintain the same calorie intake for a while - measure your body weight or other metric you want to change throughout So, if you're eating 2,500 calories a day and see you're gaining weight, you have a baseline you want to go below to lose weight.
