Question: how much weight will i lose if i eat less than 1000 calories a day?
Answer: Tipping the scale So, in general, if you cut about 500 to 1,000 calories a day from your typical diet, you'd lose about 1 to 2 pounds a week. It sounds simple. However, it's more complex because when you lose weight, you usually lose a combination of fat, lean tissue and water.
