Is this practical or too much?
Following a system of coffee fasting in the day and then eating my calorie deficit allotment at night, while trying to incorporate 10,000 steps(min) a day.
Is the salmon overkill is there a need to cut back to say 1200?
The meal is brown rice salmon and a cucumber salad.
My basal metabolic rate is 2100 calories and my tdee maintenance calories at sedentary is 2500.

There’s nothing about skipping certain meals that makes you lose weight. You’ll have the same results whether you eat your 1,568 calories all at once or across 3 meals and 2 snacks.
So if eating once a day makes you happy, go for it. Just know that it doesn’t matter. Total intake is what matters.
A 1000cal daily deficit is unlikely to be sustainable and likely to leave you with disordered eating.
What instant brown rice are you eating? Brown rice should be 200 per cup. You’ll lose at 1500, start there.
If your TDEE is 2500 calories, I would suggest aiming for 2000 calories.
It does sound like this is way too much of a deficit-unless your doctor is heavily overseeing this it’s supposed to be a 500 cal max deficit.
Also I just want to say I thought I was on one of the “jerky” subs and that was actually bourbon. I was momentarily very concerned.
1500 is probably a bit too low to start when your sedentary tdee is 2500 AND you’re exercising. You should see just fine progress eating 2k/day, 1200 is not remotely appropriate to even consider
