[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. So thank you for the thoughts and no flaming. I started at 5’7” inches and 195, so I am definitely not anorexic. I have lost about 15 pounds and ultimately would like to lose another 35 pounds, which would bring me to a normal, nowhere near anorexic weight.   But, another 35 to 40 weeks of 1000 calories a day - is that OK? I’m not hungry, so that absolutely could be a new normal that I can maintain.

I am already eating a lot of protein - minimum 20 g per meal, but often ending in the 70-100 g of protein a day, so do I need more protein than that? That seems pretty high already, although it is definitely a key to controlling my appetite.

About weights to rev up metabolism - should I be going to the gym and doing machine weights or small hand dumbbells at home?

I have a treadmill at home - so can do HITT is that better than walking for metabolism and weight loss?  Is there a best time of day to do HIIT? Can I do it in the AM before I eat? I usually don’t eat until 11 or 12, and I don’t want to change that IF window.

Yes - exercise before you eat - always.  Morning is the best. 
It will make the IF window difficult but maybe some BCAAs to get you  to 11.

What do you eat everyday that gets you that protein and 1000 calories?
I want your diet. Sounds perfect [/quote]

Protein and low carb veg or protein and low carb bread or tortilla.  Liberal use of high protein low carb/low sugar yogurts, cottage cheese and tuna. Also eggs. Sometimes I supplement with a protein bar or drink, but mostly when my food planning has broken down. Diet is far from ideal, but this is working and sustainable for me.  Some foods really make me feel full and are very lo cal even if not protein - celery, mushrooms, brussels sprouts, salad, etc. YMMV. [/quote]
