Yikes! That sounds like a dangerous game. ~616 calories a day is nothing. I would think it would be falling off too. Be careful!
That low calories; your body is going to go into starvation mode and drastically slow down your metabolism.
You’d be better working out your TDEE and then running a slight calorie deficit rather than huge reductions.
Surviving on ~600 calories a day is not a sustainable or healthy route to weight loss. Losing weight is not a sprint and you’re more likely to fall off the wagon trying to do it fast, possibly because you’ve made yourself ill. Losing weight will be the natural result of a small calorie deficit while maintaining a healthy lifestyle and diet.
To more accurately work out how many calories you need you need to tell us who you are. M/F, height, weight, lifestyle etc. Based on the guidelines of 2500kcal for males and 2000 for females you want to be consuming a deficit of ~500kcal per day. 3500kcal equates to around 1lb of body fat per week.
1-2lb per week is a healthy and sustainable amount to lose. People often lose more in their first week due to water retention but that’s a one off.
Please, eat some more food or Huel.

If it’s not a meal…what is it?
Sorry Alec it was advice I was after not shoddy sarcasm,!
I was genuinely interested as to what you think it is if it is not a meal, or food. I eat Huel to replace cereal or toast for breakfast, and to replace soup, or a salad or a sandwich or whatever for lunch. Two meals to replace two meals.
But hey if you want some advice…if you are using four x one scoops a day as your sole nutrition and you are not losing much weight, you need to check it is a scoop not a shovel you are using (there a bit of sarcasm as well as advice).

Yes the weight should be coming off really fast with such a low calorie intake. Are you weighing yourself at the same time wearing the same clothes?
But I agree with the rest, best to let it come off slowly and gently with a slight calorie defecit, it’ll be better for your health
Check out Michael Mosley’s 800 calories for 8 weeks. You probably need to eat more. I can’t even imagine what a shake is like with only one scoop of Huel. Why are you making it so thin?
