that's totally inaccurate and false information. Consuming 1000, 750 and 500 calories as meals is exactly that same as 500, 750, 1000 (for breakfast, lunch and dinner). You're getting 2250 calories. If you're taking in 9*250 calorie meals, it's still 2250 calories. To lose a pound per week, you need to eat or burn 500 calories under your maintenance caloric intake. Maintenance caloric intake is the quantity of calories you need to take in a day to maintain your current weight with your current activities. Carbs and proteins are 4 calories per gram, while fat is 9 calories per gram. You need your caloric intake to be around 30% carbs, 40% proteins and 30% fat. With a 2250 caloric maintenance level, you would be eating around 170g of carbs, 225g of protein and 75g of fats a day.
If you want real health and fitness help, go ask in the
Health and Fitness subforum. You will get a lot of trolls and unknowledgable people giving you advice on general chat.
Remember, losing weight is about 80% in the kitchen and 20% in the gym.
