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.
Keep in mind that fat contains 9 calories per gram, while carbohydrates and protein only provide 4 calories per gram. When choosing a low-fat diet for weight loss, your fat intake should not go below 20 percent of your total daily calorie intake. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute respectively suggests women and men to eat 1,000 to 1,600 calories per day and 1,200 to 1,600 calories per day for successful and safe weight loss.
