I just completed my first month on One Meal A Day with an average of 1300 calories a day. I've gone from 280 to 264 pounds (my heaviest was 330)

I also workout:
1x Exercise biking 5 miles in avg. 23 minutes
1-2x 75 pool laps (2 miles)
2x 2 reps of 10 bicep curls, lateral raises and etc twice a week.
1x Speed walking a 5K.
Casual physical work

I keep reading up on the risks of eating too little calories. The biggest point is its instability and the chance of giving up and binging. If this is not an issue, what is the real risk? I'm only hungry a few hours before I eat. I sleep just fine, I used to wake up a lot but that stopped. Because I'm a retard I still like processed food and I'm not looking to give that up just yet, I used to eat low mass meals at 500-600 calories a day, and that trained my stomach and hunger quite a bit. I feel like I eat too much on OMAD already. Plateaus have always been my downfall, which is why I swapped to OMAD.

you are thinking about too much. eat whatever you want and do 3 hours of cardio every day

>fat as fatass

I don't think I could eat 1 pizza and have it be under 1600 which is my limit, so I don't know what you read must've read. Your mind is probably still in the BBC threads you frequent.

I got great calves already, been trying to strength train more in general. I'm not unhappy with the way I do OMAD, I just don't know if eating too little will stunt gaining muscle even if I exercise a lot. I heavily focus protein.

What are you eating?
Also the real risk is that at 1300-1500 calories hitting your macros is a pain in the ass, and because you're a fatass you're not eating enough protein

Height?
You're doing too much, you should only care about your diet for now.
Exercise and cardio causes too much stress with the low calories, I rather have you lose fat until BMI 30/28 and then start doing lifting with a slow cut.
>I keep reading up on the risks of eating too little calories.
Usually people can acquire Malnutrition from eating too few calories and eating a high protein diet, lacking in several vitamins. Example if you only eat 800kcal a day and 60% of your calories comes from lean protein like chicken breast you will eat 120g of protein and 480kcal of your daily caloric limit.
Means you only have 320kcal left getting your daily requirement of zinc, magnesium, vitamin B3,B6/B12, calcium, Omega 3 and Omega 6

>>76311660
I don't track macros I just try to have a protein focused meal, or at the very least, have it included. This is what I had today. I would say it's similar to most days.

>>76311651
oh yeah most definitely. you are nerfing your gains by not eating enough.

5'9, 23 y/o. I keep stalling so that's why I started exercising a lot more. I was stuck at 280 for a month, eating 1600 calories a day. I'm retaining a lot of water weight due to processed food but I am losing fat again. Went from 55" to 52" waist in one month.

>>76311691
Felt that would be the case, I'm mainly focused on losing weight and not losing muscle, but gains are important too.

Thanks Rabbi

I do take a general vitamin supplement pill. I hear conflicting stories on their effectiveness.

nigga you've got to be trolling. This shit works and you lose weight because you're in a starvation mode. You're losing muscle mass and stalling your weight loss despite going to the gym, this shit is not sustainable in the long run, you're going to stall, say "fuck it i'm not losing weight anyway" and eat a lot of shitty food and gain most of your weight back, then do more work in a gym, etc.
Buy some meat, some chicken breasts, some eggs, some pork, some beef, doesn't matter (althought chicken breasts are GOAT) for protein gains, add some green veggies to fill your gut with, then some carbs (rice) or fats ('cado or bacon) if you've got the space. Learn to cook so you're not eating plain tasteless food every day or else you're going to crash and binge on chips or some other shit. For some time keep your deficit low, just eat healthy, get it as a habit, then you can cut more calories.
If you're dead set on 1500 calorie omad just learn to cook and count your fucking macros
t. lost 60lbs in the last 6 months

You're actually right I did crash and binge before with that exact mindset, this time instead of crashing I just hit the gym harder. I don't snack at all so that's not a problem for me. I've done chicken breast here and there, I just hate meal prep so I go for easy shit. Guess I should just get over it and put effort there too. Appreciate it.

There's no risks, just make sure to eat at the very least 1000kcal a day. I used to weight 140kg, ate 1600 kcal a day for 2 years and lost 70kg. My rule of thumb for dealing with obese people is 1400 if they sit on their ass all day, 1600 if they do some light activity like walking, but other than that they're still sedentary. 1800 for lifting+running and 2000 for lifting+running+physical work
