Could I lose weight with this calorie intake?

[Anonymous]

I'm a 22 years old female, 5'3 and 99-100lbs. I would like to reach 88lbs because summer is arriving. If I eat 1.5k-1.6k would I be able to lose weight in 1 month?

That's 11 lbs in one month, which is a little too fast to be healthy. A better rate to aim for would be to lose 2 lbs a week, which would be 8 lbs in a month. You would still be able to lose the 12 lbs goal in a total of 6 weeks and it would be a more sustainable loss, with less likelihood of gaining the weight back in a rebound effect.

I don't know about the calculations for how many calories you need to sustain 88lbs or to run a deficit on 100 lbs. It matters also what your body fat % is or rather your lean muscle mass. Once you calculate that, you can tell how many calories you need each day and can run a deficit from there.

Don't lose any more weight. You're already underweight and nobody likes a bag of bones.

I promise I'm not skinny that's why I want to lose weight. My weight probably says I'm skinny but I'm not
