Questions Regarding Calorie Restriction
Posted: Mon Sep 19, 2016 11:43 am
Hi Jeff,
There is currently an active thread in The Lounge on calorie restriction (viewtopic.php?f=1&t=53189).
And, I just finished watching your video on caloric density in which you mention calorie restriction as well. I hear numbers being mentioned for the degree of restriction in the range of 20-40%.
My question is, are these percentages to be considered as a percent reduction from a non-WFPB diet like a SAD, 2600 calorie a day diet? Or is that the reduction from a complaint 2000-2200 calorie a day diet. If the latter, 1200+ calories a day sounds way too low to me. Can someone eating that few calories remain energetic and active? For a normally active person, what should be considered a practical minimum of caloric intake?
Thanks!
