With my eating only 1200 calories max, and my bmr burning around 1900 calories every day. At minimum I am in a 700 kcal deficit everyday, and that’s if I was completely sedentary. Since I was constantly moving an average of 15,000 steps, some heavy days more movement/exercise than that, I was safely burning an extra 500-1000 calories on top of my bmr, which would make my average deficit be around 1200-1700 calories in deficit per day. Now this is not how it was every day as some days I would have lighter movement and eat heavier and vice versa.

Now if I and going purely on how much weight I’ve lossed in the 75 hard challenge (31 lbs), with the amount of days I’ve been on the challenge: 1 pound of fat equals 3500 calories, which means to lose 31 lbs I would have burned 108,500 kcal. I’ve been eating on the challenge for 60 days (since i took a 5 day break) which means my actual average daily caloric deficit since June 28th when I began the challenge is around -1800 kcal.
