I was thinking of doing the zigzag diet,
monday: 1200 cal
tuesday:1004
wednesday:1350
thursday:1200
friday:1100
saturday:1300
Sunday:1200

Will I lose weight if I use this plan or should I just keep sticking to the 1200 calories a day plan, which is faster?
My height is 158 cm, im 56 kg now. Goal is 47 kg.

    Weekly targets are fine as long as they're based on a practical, achievable and appropriate calorie deficit.

    Put your details into MFP, pick a reasonable rate of loss and you'll get an appropriate daily calorie target. Times that number by 7 and there's your weekly calorie target. Eat to target.

    I do a weekly target - just makes it easier to be flexible.

    So I know I need to average 1710 as my daily target but ok to have some days higher or lower than others.

    Can't imagine doing it as precisely as your plan though - that seems very opposite of flexibility so kind of defeats purpose of weekly target to me.

    And You won't lose any faster by having variations of days but weekly target on track, vs eating exactly daily amount each day.

    Average over time is what matters, however you get there.
