If you literally feel sick when trying to eat this little, then it sounds like it is time to talk to a dr.
Seconded. Barring a known medical condition or extremely small frame you shouldn't be feeling sick eating such a low amount of calories. You might want to make a quick check with your doctor to make sure everything is ok.

I'm calling you out. I'm sorry, but you somehow gained over 30 lbs, so you had no problem overeating in the past. Are you eating all 1200 calories in one sitting? That's the only way I can think of that would make it so hard to eat it all. If you are spreading out these calories into 3 meals and a snack, that's 300 calories 4 times a day. I just don't understand this nonsense you are saying. If you are already spreading out your calories and still too full, you may be eating way too much fiber, or have a digestive issue that needs to be addressed. You could simply add a little olive oil when you cook. That would up your calories quite a bit and you wouldn't feel it. But I highly suspect there is more to this story.0

I don't get it. Most people *kitten* about starving/feeling hungry on only 1200 calories. Isn't feeling satiated the goal?0

Oatmeal is actually pretty low calorie. It's what you put in it that adds in the calories. Make the oatmeal with full fat milk if you don't and put the peanut butter in that or maybe nutella. Granola can tend to be pretty high calorie for a small portion. Put mayo on your sandwiches and drizzle olive oil on things. Eat lots of ice cream, pizza and cake?
I'd suggest ice cream with fruit preserves, sandwiches with fruit preserves, whole milk.
Two cups isn't a suggested serving. 1/2 a cup is the serving size on my oatmeal (150 calories). In fact I only use 1/3 cup for 100 calories, and add more awesome stuff to it.0 -

Thanks I was trying to find that link!
OP I'm with others, some more info about what kinds of food you are eating currently, what you were eating when you had put on weight, and why you think those foods are no longer able to be included would be helpful....

How long have you been tracking? It doesn't seem like you are new to this, but I personally noticed when I first started tracking and being aware of my calories, I wasn't as hungry and had a hard time eating. And the more I obsessed about it, the less I would eat. I seriously went a few days eating less than 1200, if I did that now I would pass out or have hangry outbursts.
Maybe take a short break from counting calories and see how that makes you feel.0 -

Where did you come up with 2 cups? Maybe someone else said it and I missed it. You said 2 cups isn't low calorie. Correct. Eating too many portions of anything makes it high calorie.0 -
Ummm, is this a serious post or are you trolling? You obviously gained weight somehow in the past if you have lost 33lbs and still apparently have another 5lbs to lose....0

I suggest adding foods to your meal that are NOT calorie-dense, and I am betting your stomach will tolerate the dense foods better.
For instance, a full-fat dressing with avocado on a bed of lettuce.
Cereal with milk, with dried fruit and nuts sprinkled on top.
Popcorn drizzled with butter and parmesan cheese.
Chicken drumstick breaded and fried, with fries or potato with sour cream.

Half a cup is much more likely and if your numbers are right, that's 150 calories, which I'd consider low-cal. Add in a bunch of fruit and you're at a nice, 300 cal breakfast.
Oatmeal is very filling, though. I think it's one of the most filling foods out there. So, it might not be what the OP is looking for.

Because that's about how much it takes to satisfy my hunger. 600 calories of, say, chicken breast goes a lot further.DeguelloTex wrote: »

Per calorie, for me, oatmeal isn't low calorie because it takes so much to get the same satiation other foods offer for fewer calories. On the flip side, when I have a lot of carb room left at the end of the day, it makes a good snack to hold me until I go to sleep.

I do. One cup of oatmeal, let alone a half cup, isn't worth the time it takes to cook it. As above, though, apart from serving sizes the satiety per calorie just isn't there for me. If it is for you, then it might be a better option for you.

I'm kind of impressed that you can eat that much of it. Good for you.
Different strokes.
