I'm currently set to 1200cals for 9ish more pounds. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to eat 1100 6 days a week and 1800 1 day a week?

I wasn't sure if this was an issue since I'm set so low already and do not want to do this if it will cause more muscle loss.

Info:
Height: 5'3
Sw: 290
Cw: 214
Gw: 130 & revaluate as I get closer to goal

Thanks for any insight!

    I think you'd be just fine, especially if eating 1100 doesn't make you cranky. That's one way to have some flexibility on the weekends or for going out.

    I'm on 1200 and bank my calories daily so I can have a 'day off' on Fridays.
    I'm averaging between 1amd 3 lbs a week loss x

    That is fine. Just make sure that you actually use the banked calories.

    I did back when I ate 1200. I saved up for some really delicious cheesecake doing that.

    Oh no problems there :D

    Although there was definitely a mental adjustment when I ate back calories yesterday. I had to keep reminding myself it was okay and couldn't believe how much I could eat Ha!
