That's not how PSMF is done.
You don't count calories, you cound protein grams and avoid starch/sugar
carbs totall.

Total calories come well below 1,000 Kc per day.

It's not called a "crash diet" for nothing. ;-)
I'd suggest you read the book I posted.

Well, I've been eating only meat, and pigging out on celery.
With the meat has gone only 1 can per day of low sodium spinach or
string beans.

You are preaching to the choir dear. I've been studying and attempting
low carb for about 5 years. The problem is sometimes just craving the
wrong foods, and the fact that for some screwball reason, your body
becomes resistant to low carbing after a few months! Some starchy carbs
are required at intervals to maintain a normal metabolism.
