Do you think that a female traveler could pull off a similar feat?

I'm a woman with PCOS and I've heard conflicting information about how many calories I should be eating during the day to maintain a deficit - namely that people with PCOS /insulin resistance require far fewer calories than normal. I've heard as low as 1100 which sounds pretty difficult. Any thoughts on this?

Keto was how I got pregnant so I'm no stranger to this mode of thinking, but man, it is hard. I've been generally mindful of sugar since, but stuck at 190 ever since having a kid (over 3 years) and I'm ready to lose the weight. Something less restrictive than keto was my hope, but CICO at under 1000 calories a day sounds unsustainable.
