This is what I do. I don’t know if it would work for you, and I don’t know if you can lose that precise amount of weight in less than 20 days, but since nobody else has answered this has gotten me down 10ish lbs in the last twoish months.
Breakfast:
I often try to cut down on calories by skipping breakfast. It’s not particularly good for you, but I’ve found that it works well with my schedule because I don’t have to be up very early and I often stay up late. Skipping breakfast gives me more calories for the evening. That said, if I’m up before 9:30, I’ll have a banana with peanut butter (1 banana + ½ tbsp peanut butter ~ 200 cals). If I have something particularly strenuous to do, such as volunteering at my wildlife rehab, I’ll have a fruit and yogurt bowl (½ to 1 cup nonfat greek yoghurt + ½ to 1 cup frozen mixed berries + optional nectarine + optional kiwi + optional 1 tsp honey drizzle ~330 cals) instead.
Lunch:
If I didn’t have breakfast, my lunch is 11:30-12:30pm and consists of (everything bagel + whipped cream cheese + ¼ avocado + lox + chopped almonds + sliced cherry tomatoes ~370 cals). If I had breakfast, I take out the lox, chopped almonds, and sometimes the avocado.
Dinner:
To avoid my parents’ suspicion (my older sister had anorexia but they don’t know I’m doing this and I want to keep it that way because I don’t need that in my life) I have 400-500 calories of whatever they’ve made for me and try not to stress about not knowing the exact makeup of the food they’ve cooked.
Snacks:
I’m trying not to fuck up my metabolism as badly as I did in high school, so if by the end of the day I haven’t hit 1,000 calories or I’m hungrier than I want to be (I like a little hunger, but too much other people will hear and I don’t want them to) I’ll have a dessert/snack. Usually, this is a small yoghurt bowl with frozen mixed berries, half cup of each, but lately I’ve started making smoothie popsicles. My current ones are about 85 cals per popsicle. I love frozen treats and these are much lower than ice cream, plus more protein and fiber. Great for watching tv.
Add it all up, and my typical day is (200+370+500+85=1,155). My BMR is 1,300 and my maintenance is 2,000.
Exercise:
I’m crap with exercise. I aim for 10,000 steps a day, but I don’t have a job or school right now so my average is closer to 9,000. At night I do crunches, sit-ups, calf-raises, push-ups until near-failure. I have no idea how many calories I burn with these. I don’t let myself watch short-form video content (tiktok, youtube shorts, instagram reels) unless I’m walking at the same time. This gets me 1,000-2,000 more steps a day and has the benefit of mostly keeping me off youtube shorts.
I hope this helps, and good luck with whatever your goals.
