    How does anyone survive on 1200 calories? 200 calories isn't a meal. It's hardly a snack.

    Easily, I do it daily and its a 150g+ high protein based diet.

    I'm also doing a 1200 calorie diet and have always heard it's best to have a light meal for dinner in stock up on your calories early in the day when you're most active. I typically do 300 for breakfast 500 for lunch and 400 for dinner. I include mainly protein fresh fruits and veggies. Strawberries are Le in calories and i love cutting then up in a 90 Cal yo plait yogurt :p
    Hope this helps

    I am eating 1200 calories, too. I'm 4'11 and 3/4 so I'm tiny. I usually eat under or around 300 in the morning, I have a 130 calorie snack. Another 300-400 for lunch and then then the rest for dinner. It varies daily depending on how hungry I am at "breakfast" time which is usually around 1 pm for me because of my work schedule. But mostly I like to eat light the first part of the day and heaviest in the middle or at the end of the day.
