Decided I wanted to drop 15 extra pounds. Been running a 1500-calorie deficit (<1500 consumed, burn 3000-3500 a day) for past few days. Body eats itself. CICO deniers can pound sand

I know my "sedendary" (no exercise) burn is about 2900 calories a day from a prior experiment I did.

Eating chicken wings and celery and sardines.

I mean, diet experts warn not to go over 1000 calorie deficit per day but I can handle 1500. I'm not a big guy either!

At 6'3",my sedentary Total Daily Energy Expenditure sits around 4000 calories. Only reason I cut down at 1200 calories daily is I would rather be without energy and lethargic for the least amount of time possible.
