I am a 36M that weighs about 260 pounds and is 6'0, and I'd like to get to about 200 lbs as a medium length goal (amd reevaluate after). According to TDEE calculators, my BMR should be about 2300 calories per day, and I generally burn about 1500 calories per week via exercise.
I know I won't get a super accurate value without seeing a specialist, but I thought I might get an idea of general idea to shoot for. Some places say that 2 lb/week is a good rule of thumb maximum safe loss rate, while other places say that losing 1% of current weight (or 2.6 lb/week for me at the current moment in time) is fine as long as one is getting all the nutrients I need.
I've experimented and can comfortably sustain 1000 calorie diets in terms of hunger and general wellness/energy levels for good lengths of time, but I don't want to run afoul of longer term issues linked to too quick weight loss like gallstones. Assuming I can create a diet with the needed nutrients, would 1200 calories per day be likely to be safe, or should I go for something like 1500 instead?
