weight loss on 4’11’’

hey! I’m 21F 4’11’’ (149cm) and 106lb (48kg)

I’m looking to lose weight at a 300-400cal deficit per day to eventually reach a weight of 95lb (43kg).

This puts me at about 900-1000cal per day which is kinda low. I’m thinking how that can be manipulated or managed with cardio - and also how I can ensure my calorie deficit is not too huge as I regularly do runs from 10-15km.

I’m also thinking about my weight goal and whether it honours how i’d like to live, my performance goals and what I would need to do to maintain that comfortably.

Right now I’m really upset with recent fat gain. Frankly - my diet needs cleaning up and work and I recently injured my foot on a trail run (fixed with acupuncture!) which put me out of my main exercise outlet of running. But even before that I gained the weight as hunger was pretty hard to control.

Quite frankly body image bothers me, as I believe it does us all to differing degrees. It even bothers me to road cycle now since the feeling of fat gain in my bike kits prevents me from going for rides because I feel disappointed/sad and it’s a motivation of mine to lose the fat/weight so I can enjoy cycling again... I really miss it.

I guess my question and areas I’d like advice is 1. Help me assess my goal, especially for fellow short ladies. 2. Is my approach of sub 1000kcal alright? What type of diet in that range is healthy? (i’m thinking mostly low calorie dense foods and lean protein) 3. Eating back run calories? Half of the calories burnt?

I’ll be using MFP and gauging exercise calories burnt with my apple watch. I welcome recommendations for any other useless tools!
