Hrm...I am not a calorie counter (I do WW), but I have done some research into caloric needs/CC/BMR numbers. Have you looked into what your BMR actually is, and how many calories your body requires to just be? I know for me, I need somewhere around 1650 calories to sustain my weight, if I don't do any exercise. I usually eat between 1400 - 1600 calories a day (sometimes even more!). When I started losing weight, I was eating 1800 - 2000 calories a day at 274 lbs, and have been lowering my calorie intake as I've been losing. That way, if I get stuck with the weight not moving, I have some wiggle room to lower calories if I need to. 1200 calories is generally accepted as the absolute minimum your body can live on.
Are you going to be starting an exercise program with your new diet changes? Also, why are you going to have a 3 day fast prior to starting this diet change?
