consume calories

Question

I’ve decreased the number of calories in the food I eat by 125%, which has helped me lose weight.” If the speaker used to consume 2000 calories a day, how much do they now consume? Is this possible?

Answer 1

No, 125% is more than 100% in which 125% of 2000 calories is 2500. Maybe you mean you decreased your calories in food you eat by 25% in which 25% of 2000 is 500. This would mean your new food intake would be 1500 calories.
