How much weight would be lost on a 100 net calorie a day diet in a week before starvation mode? (HYPOTHETICAL)

Just to clarify this question is 100% HYPOTHETICAL, I am absolutely not about to start such a ridiculously low calorie diet!! I'm just curious to know how much weight could be lost in a week if someone burnt enough calories and restricted on food intake to have a 100 net calorie total every day? Obviously the body would go into starvation mode, but before that point weight would drop off pretty quickly. Is there any mathematical way to work it out?
I promise that I won't be starting on this diet and that anyone considering it would know how unsafe it is. I'm just curious to know how much weight would be lost in a week assuming the individual is 110lbs with a BMR of 1800 calories? I know that someone who weighs that little doesn't need to diet AT ALL, but as I've stressed, this question is completely hypothetical.

    Expected Weight loss no matter the deficit can be calculated as the persons TDEE x7 - all calories actually consumed /3500. But you need height weight age and gender plus activity level to even take a guess at TDEE *shrug*

    What you are asking is a dangerous approach and you should (a) read all of the stickies provided for newbies or (b) stop trolling.

    Also, losing weight like that would be sacrificing more lean body mass than fat at that restrictive level

    Ditto reporting. Quite possibly the most asinine hypothetical question ever.

    There's no need to question it if you don't plan to do it. Get some professional help.
