I’ve crash dieted by eating 100 calories a day, and I know one might gain back all the weight if one is not careful. I’m redoing my diet as if today and investing 6 months up to one year dieting, how many calories in a deficit should I be in for the whole year and not be hungry when I reach my end goal??

How many calories to eat to not be hungry

What is your end goal? If it's to be alive you should eat a lot more than 100 cals/day. The feeling of hunger is subjective so no one can answer that part for you. But you should read the stickies and develop healthy eating habits that allow you to get proper nutrition while losing weight, which doesn't need to have a time limit of 6 months to up to one year.

Don't lose muscle - that' will help. By not using an excessive deficit.
Doing it slowly by alternating muscle gain and fat loss phases will help too.
It would help to know your stats (age, height, weight, max effort lifts) - a picture would help too
It may not even be possible if you want to be like 10% BF - at least not without changing eating habits.

do you know your TDEE from collecting daily weigh-in and calorie data - or just from using a calculator? This is an important question - because otherwise a deficit number is not much use, especially if you are trying to maximise it.
You could probably safely run a deficit of 750 cals per day. You should begin lifting at the same time as commencing a diet of course - and get at least 130g of protein per day.

As others suggested, 100 cal a day is stupid. I suggest doing a 500 cal deficit. As for how much cals to eat so you don't feel hungry, that has more to do with food density than actual calories. 165 cals from a bag of M&M's (chocolate candy) vs 165 cals from 100 grams of chicken breast. Which do you think is more filling?

Lol yea what a terrible choice. Ig if I were literally starving to death, I’d go with the chicken breast because it is 31 grams of protein. Still, this scenario only seems relevant if I were presumably in a concentration camp & eating 1000 calories per day with limited food choices based only on calorie amounts. Otherwise, why would I worry about “breaking the bank” with a whopping 165 calories of two completely different categories of food? I’m not sure if 165 calories of anything but maybe green or cruciferous vegetables could be in any way considered “filling”.
