    So I know this site reccomends everyone trying to lose weight to eat 1200 calories... I was wondering how many people actually are? And how it is going for you?

    Also even though I'm new I realize 1200 is too low for most people. I am just curious about if it's working for some.

    Tried it. Failed. Hangry. Now I run to earn more calories. I typically range from 1500-1700 (sometimes higher) and am much happier and can sustain at this pace.

    I would literally die if I ate 1200 calories. It's just not enough. Sure you'll lose weight but in the long run it won't be sustainable. I try to eat a solid 1500-1700 calories a day and eat back 25-50% of anything burned during a workout. I've tried the 1200 cal thing before and it's never worked out. It's a major reason why weight loss has always failed for me.
