    My TDEE is 3;507, minus 20% would make it 2,508.6.

    I have set, and am sticking to 1,375 calories and am seldom hungry. I do not "eat back exercise calories burned" I think eating a lot of low calorie foods so bulk fills me up followed by saving calories for late snacks helps.
    This is the same person that ALSO claims to walk 30 miles every day while only consuming 1,375 calories which is a huge negative calorie daily intake. He may be losing weight now, but the damage he is doing to his body long term could be tremendous and irreversible. Please do not listen to ANY of his advice!

    Edit to add: He may not realize it now, but his body is going into starvation mode, his metabolism is completely shutting down. His weight losses will start to slow down week after week because his body is currently using his lean muscle mass up for energy while storing the fat for future energy use since he is not giving it the calories needed. When his losses completely stop even when walking his 30 miles a day (which will be hard since he will have much less energy and much less lean body mass). He will then have to walk less, most likely will get some type of injury and then will shoot back up in weight faster than he lost it.

    I just hope that he will continue to post on this board so that all can learn from his lessons.
