Despite conventional wisdom and the usual advice given by nutritionists, especially those associated with the US government, I've maintained 89-90kg @ 186cm height and 11-12% body fat for many months by simply cross training with weights, non-weight intensive exercise and biking 30-40 minutes per day and eating between 1000-1500 calories per day. It's a lifestyle change I can sustain. I have a 33" waist, and 44" inches at the shoulders. I feel fantastic, never better.
Conventional information and BMI charts declare me obese, and recommend a diet of 2500-2600 calories per day. =D If I weighed the recommended 77 kg, I imagine I would look and feel very unhealthy.
