try eating a good breakfast to start your day, I usually go with soft boiled eggs, jam , toast and yogurt all for around 300 calories, then I eat a little snack at noon, for lunch its usually some kind of protein and salad, and for dinner I would have greek yogurt with veggies, all this and you still wont hit your 1200 goal0

Your body burns carbs first. That's why if you exercise without lots of carbs on your stomach your body goes into fat reserves ands burns that.
That's interesting I didn't know that! So should we limit pre-gym carbs to burn more fat?
No, that's not true. The lack of presence of carbs in the stomach does not impact "fat burning." This seems along the line of the myth of the "fat burning" zone for cardio workouts.

I net 1250 calories.
In other words, if I don't exercise at all (rare), I only eat 1250 cal.
If I walk 1-hour (200 cal), my calorie limit is 1250 + 200 = 1450. But I usually only eat about 100 of those 200 extra cal.
If I cycle 1-hour (400 cal), my calorie limit is 1250 + 400 = 1650. And again, I usually only eat about half those 400 extra cal.0 -
If that's a recent pic, you should definitely eat your workout calories because you should be focusing mainly on recomp and very little on weight loss.0

On average I eat back half of my exercise calories. Some days I'm just not hungry so I don't bother, other days I'm starving and could use the extra protein. I'm working hard in the gym, I don't want to sacrifice muscle!0

Ah what a shame thought it was too good to be true! Thanks @Nuke_640
