Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
The number of calories you burn while exercising is dependent on the exercise you do, the intensity of the exercise ,the incline ,your weight, and the time spent doing the exercise.

This will be the caloric count

the number of calories gained depends on the meal itself and its components fats protein and carbohydrates beside the other snacks cmponents and their calories you take per day
the caloric lost is calculated depending on the number of calories intake - the number of calories lost and if the gain is less than the lost then there will be breakdown process in your body from fats and glycogen stores to fulfill the energy need and this by itself depends on every one metabolic rate and metabolism and other medical condition related .

To evaluate how much weight you can lose by walking, you first need to evaluate how much energy your body requires on a daily basis. Calculate your body’s metabolic rate by using the variables of your weight, height, age and sex: For women, calculate (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x your age) + 655 to find your BMR. For men, calculate (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years) + 66. The final number of the equation equals the minimum number of calories your body needs every day to remain at your present weight.

If you walk at a slow pace, for example 2.5 mph, you will obviously burn less energy than if you walk at a moderate pace of 3.5 mph. In addition, the more you weigh the more calories you burn.

However ,i don't advise you taking one meal a day ,this will be unhealthy and most people following a strict diet based on a one small light meal can't continue with it ,and may have opposite results ,you may lose much but once you stopped you wll be gaining more and you will be losing much much of the necessary nutrients necessary for your health and metabolism .

you might be slowing your metabolic rate and making your digestion low and lazy and depending on only one unhealthy meal ,so once you return eating you will find yourself more prone to gaining weight since your body stabilizes on one meal .
So yes ,you may lose weight quickly in this way but you will gain since you stops beside medical symptoms related to this bad routine .
It is better to make a healthy plan for your entire life ,a plan that you can make it as a routine and which is elastic for your needs and your life ,a plan of losing weight and continue with it as daily healthy routine .

Better is to devide your meals ,this is my advice ,take more number of meals but in small quantities and variate your diet ,eliminate bread and rice you can put small amounts if you starve for it ,increase fiber intake and fruits and vegetables ,eat more lean meat and chicken breast ,beans ,fish decrease your daily fat and fried food ,no junk food if you starve it take it one per week ,
don't miss a breakfast meal,drink much water ,sleep well ,exercise more 30 min -1 hour ,even exercise better to devide it to intervals and to make different types of exercising .
you can also write the amount of foods you eat per day healthy food and then begin at a start point and schedule your diet plan ,eat first 3/4 of the daily food plan you used to eat and then 1/2 the food and like this by this way you decrease your caloric intake by half and eliminate kg gradually and training your body to burn more quickly

However this is my point of view from a medical angle ,

In average :

On a weekly basis, if you eat 3,500 calories less than your energy requirement, you will lose o.5 kg per week.
