700 calorie intake while burning more than that in exercise per day is rushing it. You're going to burn through lean mass like crazy. You need to set your goal to lose 1 pound per week, then eat all those calories. If you're doing tons of cardio to increase your calorie burn stop. Stick to a progressive lifting routine and if you absolutely must do cardio limit yourself to a few 30 minute sessions per week.
Your protein needs to be around .8-1 gram per pound of lean body mass and that low of fat intake is going to screw up your hormones.0 -
Did you mean a deficit of 700 calories per day?0

Your not retarded at all, just rushing to try do something but by doing that you will stop yourself getting to where you want to be.
Eating that low will harm your lean muscle.
Take it easy, slow it down and read the starter threads. The info in them is very worth reading and following

Oh, yeah no. I second .8g/lb lean mass of protein and .35g/lb lean mass of fat as minimums. Carbs you can fill in as you see fit, but you're going to need enough total calories to fuel your workouts (I'm assuming you're still lifting even if you cut volume during your cut).0 -
Your profile shows only 7 lbs to lose. Why the extreme deficit? Why the description as "fat as ****"?0
-
You are going to lose a bucket load of muscle and other lean mass. You will be weak. You will lack the nutrition needed to keep you healthy. In other words, stop this, get a moderate deficit, and take your time.0

More red flags than at Monza on race day here. Abusive self-descriptions, extreme calorie restriction, over-exercise...yeah, no, you need some help, and not the type we can give you.0

Thank you everybody first few post. We're very informative and my fiancé for 2 years left me for someone that's why the rush I just wanted to impress her before she fell in love with him sorry if I offended anyone with the choice of words the caloric deficit is starting to affect every aspect of my physical and mental health0

Dude, she's already gone. Eat more.0

You're not going to be happy with the results at all on an intake like that. Goodbye lean muscle. Stop abusing yourself, both physically and mentally. The girl is gone, she's not worth your health.0

Ok, this is going to be a little brutal so I apologize in advance...
If she has left you for him, chances are she is already in love with him.
And generally when someone leaves it's not because of your appearance. Females are humans, not peacocks, we (usually) don't pick partners based off how pretty their "feathers" are. Unless she has made comments in the past that shows she is unsatisfied with your appearance, making the big gesture of changing your appearance won't work.
I've been on the other side of this. I've left a partner for someone else. There was never anything they could've done to "keep" me or "win me back" - I just didn't love them anymore and I had found someone that I loved more than anything.0 -

Secondly, you have some other issues to clearly work out before weight loss becomes your priority. Why would you want someone back that has hurt you? This is brutal, but there is something the other person is giving her that you did not. And I can assure you that it is not appearance. Reflect on that. Because to honestly think that someone is that shallow to focus only on looks is already a red flag.

Why would you want to impress someone who is leaving you for another man? I'd be like "Bye, Felicia!" and then work on the fitness/diet goals for myself.
Perhaps you should seek out counseling. You're doing yourself more harm than good and there's alot going on for you. I think it would be beneficial for you to talk things out with a professional. There's no reason to harm yourself physically and mentally over someone who doesn't want to be with you. As the saying goes, there are plenty of fish in the sea.0 -

This sounds like an extraordinarily difficult experience, and it also sounds like there's a lot going on in your life right now. Have you thought about consulting a mental health professional?0 -
Yeah, OP, you're only eating about half what your minimum cal/day should be.
And she's not going to come back to you if you torture yourself.
Read this blog post, and especially click through to the Baylor College of Medicine (BCM.edu) link.
That will help you learn what a healthy weight for your height is, and a healthy calorie intake,
and how many servings of the various food groups you need to eat every day.

The link to Baylor doesn't seem to exist anymore, but IIFYM has a really good calculator at: http://www.iifym.com/iifym-calculator/0 -
One girl left. Who cares! It has happened to me from both sides. Life moves on and eventually you become happy with yourself and then you can attract the correct partner or decide to be happy single. You may need some therapy but, killing yourself that obviously cares nothing about you is only hurting you.
