1200 calories a day -> – 0.3 – 0.7 kg a week

800 calories a day -> – 0.7 – 1.4 kg a week

500 calories a day -> – 1.5 – 2.5 kg a week

For all of our non metric friends:

1200 calories a day -> – 0.6 – 1.5 lbs a week

800 calories a day -> – 1.5 – 3.1 lbs a week

500 calories a day-> – 3.3 – 5.5 lbs a week

This is actually really helpful

eating 1000 calories will not make you gain weight.
(unless your metabolism is dead – but typically, no.)
so if you feel like you’re going to faint or you’re too weak;
you will not gain weight if your calorie intake is 1000 calories.
most of us (including me) restrict insanely low. 500, 200, 800.
and that’s okay, we’re sick. it’s expected.
but! your safety is important. eating a banana because you almost passed out during chemistry is okaaayyyy. breathe. you’re okay.
you will not gain weight because you ate a little extra.
if you ate 800 and felt too weak to function and ate a little bit of toast to help that and your intake got up to 950, it’s okay.
(specific example. just to make things even simpler.)
so breathe, have some tea. you’re okay. you’re fine.

Seconding this! Please eat something if you think you are going to pass out or anything like that!!!

Please remember this♡
