Eating ~500 calories a day

I know this sounds bad and unhealthy but I’m going to Japan with a bunch of my friends for our grad trip in about a month and Im already planning to eat everything in sight because how often does one get to visit japan?

I’m basically cutting to the extreme to make up for the weight I’ll gain later on. I know this doesn’t sound healthy but I genuinely feel relatively normal the only things I would say have changed are:

Getting dizzy when I stand up too quickly
Hungry
Weaker (slightly)

I know that this isn’t healthy but all the repercussions I feel are relatively minor can someone please inform me of other consequences.

I’ve been consistently loosing 0.5-1 pounds a day, sometimes 1.5 pounds and have gone from 185\\\~ to 158, most of this has been pure fat, but some of it is muscle atrophy, not cause I’m starving but because I’ve stopped going to training for my sport because high school is over. I still work out mostly upper body and that hasn’t atrophied at all in fact I’ve gotten stronger in my upper body. It’s also summer break so i just bed rot all day hence a lesser caloric spending and lower metabolism.

Something I’ve noticed with extreme fasting is that I’m unable to eat nearly the same amounts of food as before, context: me and my friends went out to an all you can eat place and I started ordering like I usually did before the cutting and was only able to consume like 30% of what I used to like I was 150% full and still couldn’t eat as much as before. I gained three pounds from that one meal when I checked at night.

I only eat one meal a day around 10-11am that’s usually around 7-10 eggs plus some fruit and multivitamins because I don’t wanna catch scurvy. I would say that a huge difference has been eating at night vs day, when I ate the same calories except I did it at night I would lose much less weight.
