Lunch: Tin of soup (230 cal) and a banana (100 cal)
Dinner: Heathy microwave meal of between about 600-800 cal, and a low-fat yogurt (45 cal).
Add perhaps 140 cal for 7 cups of tea, and that's a total of around 1340-1540 cal.
That's my "non fasting" days. On my two fasting days I restrict myself to 600 cals in total (no breakfast, a banana for lunch, and dinner of about 300 cals, plus the essential cups of tea!)

Assuming you're not doing lots of exercise, you probably need 2000 calories or so a day. So per week you'll use up (5*500) + 2*(1400) = 5,300 calories from body fat. That's about 0.7kg per week.
The big losses at the start of a diet are usually just from gut contents and possibly water.
