Hi so ive been wanting to reduce my body fat percentage for a while now and I've been kinda relying on that idea of 3500 calories is 1 pound of fat. So what I'm doing is doing HIIT workouts twice a day for 5 times a week where I'm on average losing 300 calories a day from that then doing a 30 min arm workout which is about 100 calories lost a day extra which i do 5 times a week so i week i lose 2000 calories alone from exercising and on average a day you lose about 2000 from just general things like sleeping, walking, eating. So a week i lose 16,000 calories and i aim to consume 1500 calories a day except on one day where i can go over and eat crazy so i can keep my sanity so lets say i gain 11,000 from eating. I would have a 5000 calories deficit a week which means i should lose a pound a week. But does it matter what i eat in those 1500 calories a day as long as its less then 1500 or does it have to be healthyand under 1500?
Thank you
