Because I was getting late and got busy, I couldn't have anything till about 4 pm and then I took a full 1062 calorie lunch that I had planned. How bad can 1000 calorie diets be? (Note: I did not eat anything all day, just one big 1062 calorie diet)

    Is that all you're going to eat? Why wouldn't you eat dinner as well?

    Frequent feedings are more ideal when losing weight because they increase your metabolism

    1000 calorie diets are completely unnecessary as a weight loss strategy, they are prone to bingeing and yo yo dieting.

    Nope.

    OP - I've done that on busy days. No biggie. Just don't make a habit of it.

    Yeah, it does. Do you need some peer reviewed research

    It's bad in the sense that you're likely not getting enough calories. Eat some dinner!

    I wanted to hear that. Sometimes I just don't get time to make myself something. And I can't just eat anything random. It must have suitable nutrients as per my food log.

    I know I just didn't realise that the ice cream I took alone was 400 cals.

    You can't live on 1,000 calories - that's bad. But if it was just one day it's no big deal. If you ate that big lunch and just weren't hungry for dinner I really wouldn't sweat it. Maybe if it happens again have a small snack at the end of the day.

    yes, please. Because I lost over 60 pounds in 7 months - and ate my calories in 2 meals and a small snack after dinner.

    you've completely missed the point. 1000 cals is too little.

    Really? I thought 1000 cal in one single diet was too much.

    Of course if you're calorie deficit you're gonna lose weight but it works better when you increase your metabolism. I'm not saying it's impossible to lose weight only eating once a day - I'm saying it's not ideal because your body soaks up everything it can to store it because it doesn't know when the next meal will be. Unless of course you eat 1 1000 calorie meal by which point you should be emaciated lol.

    18 year old male, never eats more than 1200 calories and only has 10 lbs to lose?

    Not sure if serious... if you are, you either have a lot of learning to do, or you need a counselor to discuss disordered eating.

    So you're not actually using mfp as it's supposed to be used?

    What makes you think that eating 1000 calories is too much?
