When you're on a low-calorie diet, you usually get between 800 and 1,500 calories a day. For some people, an alternative for short-term weight loss is a very low-calorie diet. Many very low-calorie diets are commercially-made formulas of 800 calories or fewer that replace all the food you usually eat.
The amount of fat and carbohydrate you eat on a diet depends on the number of calories youâre eating. If youâre eating 1,500 calories per day on a balanced diet, you need around 800 calories, or around 200 grams, from carbohydrates and about 500 calories, or 55 grams, from fat.
