You lost 25 pounds over 75 days (abysmal progress)? By forcing yourself into a calorie deficit that you can't sustain? And you're going to gain all the weight back? And you have to constantly monitor your caloric intake, ruining the inherent joy of eating and paying attention to your body's signals?
That's really awful man. I'm so sorry for you. Anyone can already see the path you're about to go down. You'll be moody, hungry, feel bad, and regain the weight. It's the same diet story thousands of times over. Your prediction and result is also not the norm. When closely measuring calories and energy expenditure, very few people achieve the desired weight loss. Not that half a pound a day is desirable. You can do much better.
It's incredibly obvious that if you're losing weight that you're in an energy deficit. It's also a worthless observation. As "dieting" has proved time and time again, it's unsustainable for humans and has no long term benefits. Sure you can go hungry all the time, but who cares? You're not solving nor addressing the problem. It's like liposuction. People get severely depressed because they attempt what you're experimenting with, thinking it will work.
At 6'4 and 250 pounds, you are clinically obese. You are going to die sooner than most people, and it's going to be painful. This is something to take very seriously, and something worth getting emotional about. People's lives are ruined by thinking being in a constant calorie deficit is a good way to get healthy. Debating calories in / calories out is why people end up obese in the first place. Unless you have a genetic condition, you're carbohydrate intolerant.
