Comment on How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day?

On apple there is an app called mynetdiary. HIGHLY recommended to help answer your questions. It sounds like finances are an issue, but the paid version really helps you dial in nutrition with detailed nutrient info and meal plans. The key feature of this app for me was the predicted weight loss trend line… and then seeing my results line up perfectly. It’s almost like they knew what they were talking about.
DO NOT go below bmr…
If you are going into deficit, stave off the full effect of adaptive thermogenesis (“starvation mode”) with weights and higher levels of protein.
As is always the case when people say it’s on Apple/iPhone, it’s also out on Android
Here’s their website with buttons to both stores: www.mynetdiary.com
It’s cheaper and easier to release on Android, and almost twice as many people use it, of course every single Apple iTunes app is going to be on the Google Play Store as well

Poor advice, IMO. Going below BMR is ok, starvation mode is largely a myth, and, while nutrition is important, it is not necessary for caloric-deficit weight loss.

No the poor advice is to go below bmr by some rando who says, “No it’s cool. Nutritionists don’t know what they are talking about.”. But go for it. Do like everyone else who is in a rush and turn your diet into a roller coaster.

That’s not quite what I said. You have strong convictions, and I wish you well.
