To clear things up, I am indeed burning 1000 calories, sometimes more per day by doing things like HIIT, Zumba and then after it 30 mins non-stop of swimming. I feel incredibly fit and full of energy. Therefore, 200 calories net, yes.

Reality check: You're not burning 1,000 calories doing that stuff. If you were doing HIIT, you wouldn't be able to do it every day. What you're calling HIIT is probably calisthenics. It's not just you, everybody does that nowadays. If you were really surviving on 200 kCal a day and doing such intense exercise at such high volume, you would not feel full of energy.

And yet he's losing five pounds a week. Not for one week. For a month. How do you think he's doing that without a major calorie deficit? He's only around 240 lbs. or so. What do you think his BMR is for a 2500-calorie daily deficit if you doubt he's netting 200 kcal?


Edited to fix typo.

I think it's funny people are actually debating this...

I think it's a total fabrication and it is so funny to watch people go back and forth on what is being said...smh.

Exactly. I'm confused why people are even arguing the 1000 calorie burn with these fact. Heck I'm 5'5" and 140 lbs and I can burn that much in a day with 2 hours at the gym and a walk. Really doesn't find it hard to believe for a 109 lbs man...

As to OP ignoring everyone's advice, nothing we can do unfortunately. Have fun regaining all the muscle you lose, OP.

I think you're either overestimating your calorie burn. Or you're gaining muscle. Do you look slimmer?
