A fair amount at first, but it wont be fat, it will be fluid and muscle. And then your body will go into starvation mode because it thinks it wont get anymore food, and it will store ALL the food you eat as fat, your metabolism will slow down, and you will have to eat LESS to just maintain your weight - no matter lose it. Now on the other hand, if you did lots of muscle bulding exercises and eat healthily you would build muscle, and muscle burns more calories than fat by a long way, so your metabolism increases and you will need to eat MORE just to keep your weight from dropping!!! Plus you will be burning probably 2 to 3 times as many calories as starving yourslelf, just in your normal daily routine - not even taking in to account the calories burnt while doing the exercise. Remember though, don't over do it. I'm rambling again sorry. Hope this helps (and doesnt sound to preachy).
Answer 2- I some what disagree with the answer above you will lose fat that's what the body turns to first when your in starvation mode. Your metabolism will slow but not all your food will be stored as fat otherwise no one would have success with the size 0 diet you are talking about. I know this from trying it my self and lost 5 lbs in a week with out exercise. Just keep your water intake high so it isn't just water weight you lose.
Answer 3- They say that eating that may calories is very dangerous. But i did it for a month and i was completely fine. I didn't eat over 600 calories a day. I was also in dance and karate, everyday. Eating only 600 calories didn't make me weak or tired. It made me feel a lot better and stronger. I also did the P90x which was really helpful, but i never felt weak from only eating 600 calories. i did this for a month and lost 10 pounds. The first week i did it though i lost 5 pounds so i figured i'd loose 5 pounds every week, but instead the total ended up being 10 pounds. Its really not hard to do and i felt a lot better. But i agree with answer 2, it just depends on your body.

well actually your body will only burn the calories it consumes. if your eating less calories it will burn less calories, so i don't think you can figure that out from just that. if your trying to lose weight, exercise before meals, so your burning the fat you have stored and not the energy from the food you just consumed.

If you burn 100 calories per day will you lose weight weight?
Yes, you certainly will lose weight and harm your health. Think about all of the calories you burn during the day simply living out your daily routine (showering, folding laundry, running up and down the stairs, cooking, or whatever you do!) This would subtract the extra 200 calories you did not burn off at the gym. === === Yes, you will actually lose too much weight too fast I only eat 1000 calories a day because I really want to lose a lot of weight. I've been losing about 5 pounds a week (yes I know that's extremely hypocritical it's not really a good idea to eat so little and burn all of it off anyway. If your going to the gym every day and burning 800 calories every day then you should be eating at least 2000 calories a day. You will still lose weight but at a much healthier rate. The only reason that I only eat 1000 calories is because I don't get very much exercise.
