Some context, I'm a 42 yr old male. 5'9' and 185lbs. I've always been active and from the age of 18 to 35 I stayed at 165 lbs no matter what I did.

Fast forward to when I was 38, I had a metal plate placed in my neck from injuries in the military. I had a complex about my neck, I was scared everything I did would jeopardize it. In the last 4 years I gained 20ish lbs being super sedentary.

I've finally reached my wall. I started a calorie deficit and slowly introducing kettlebell workouts and walking in my daily routine.

But from a calorie stand point I have a 210 calorie Starbucks drink in the morning. Then 1 slice of pizza and water for lunch, estimated at 400 calories. Then a fresh prepped meal that averages between 400 and 500 calories. I eat the same thing everyday and rarely deviate. I allow myself a ice cream from a local place only on Sundays.

My RMR is 1710 calories a day, I'm hovering at 1,110 calories consumed.

I'm in week 2 and down 5 lbs.

Is this too low of calorie deficit? Am I at risk of anything?

I do have Obsessive Disorder, so now that I have started this diet, I will not stop until I hit 165 lbs.

I have a different kind of question. I'll be getting a Frontier here soon. I do alot of camping, exploring and I like to car camp when doing so.

Does anyone know the length of the rear of the cab to the footwell on the passenger side? I was thinking of removing the passenger seat, and I'll be removing the rear seat either way and having a sleeping platform built.

The other option is getting a long bed and throwing on a shell like many others have.

Since I have my Military Lifetime Interagency Pass, can I come and go as I please? My local NP, Rocky Mountain National Park does timed entry even with Interagency passes. I was unsure w/ GTNP.
