I give up. I came here for assistance on three questions

1..Does anyone have tips on a meal plan for a 1300 calorie diet?

2. Hunger control tips?

3. Non-weight bearing exercise that has any measurable calorie burn?

You should be ashamed of yourselves for turning it into an excuse to ridicule someone you don't know who has done nothing to ridicule you. I am frustrated with my situation and venting while also looking for a way to eat less without being hungry, crabby, tired and miserable about failing at this all the time.

I am struggling. What would have been helpful, and kind, would have been - "I've done this to be less hungry. I did this to keep within 1300 calories. It's hard, and it sucks, but I just kept plugging along and I finally got there."

There are people who are limited to 1300 calories. I am going to go find them.

Thank you for piling on with your own superiority. Have a nice day, and I hope you all gain 5 pounds for being unpleasant people.

A few of us did give some tips that you were asking for, like my idea of sit-down zumba with youtube and weights.

I am afraid I am on a 1500kcal diet, so can't really help too much, but I was on 1200kcals years ago so from what I remember these are the things I did (and sometimes, things I still do);

Breakfast (tended to be 250-350kcal region):
1. Toast with poached eggs
2. Poached eggs with smoked salmon (plus toast if I was feeling generous)
3. Smoothie with banana, protein powder, peanut butter, cocoa powder, maybe some chia seeds, etc etc (I mix these up and still have smoothies for breakfast on weekdays. Loads of ideas online, and by adding some protein powder or oats, it will keep you fuller for longer)
4. Weetabix with semi-skimmed milk and raisins

Lunch (350-450kcals):
1. Tuna, light salad cream, pepper in a wrap
2. Sandwich filler (usually half a pot, but make sure they are the low calorie kind. I have Waitrose branded ones) with a wrap
3. Smoked salmon and cream cheese in a wrap
4. Soup
5. Homemade salads with low calorie crackers

Snacks (350-450kcals) (I am a massive snacker, I have to keep eating through the day to stay full. the snacks usually depend on how much exercise I have done (so I can eat more or not):
1. banana (quite calorific unfortunately, but good for you)
2. yogurt
3. low calorie pop corn
4. beef jerky (LOVE JERKY - high protein, low calorie, what more do you want!!!)
5. cherry tomatoes
6. mixed fruit and nuts (I used to get snack packs from Tesco)
7. wasabi nuts (you can't eat too much of this in one go, which helps)
8. coffee
9. LOADs of peppermint tea - really good way to fool your body in to thinking you are taking in calories
10. Low cal crisps (walkers quavers multipacks - only 88kcals in a bag of crisps)

Dinner (now this depends massively on the exercise I've done for the day, and I tend to have dinners that are 700-1000kcals, but from memory, this is what I used to have when I was on 1200kcals)
1. Soups (shop-bought. tend to have 300-650kcals, depending on brand, type, etc. Add some cheese on top if you have the calories, or have a slice of bread)
2. Stir fry
3. sushi
4. pasta (I'd make sure I weigh all the ingredients to stay within my calories and be very stingy with oil)
5. I never used to have the popular chicken breast, rice and broccoli combination, but only because it never appealed to me. Your tastes might be different.
6. Chicken in wraps with red onion, bacon, tomato, avacado and salad)
7. Either fish or a meat with mash and some sort of vegetable
8. Massive omlette with the works (within calorie goal) with or without a slice of bread


Now, these were all based on my tastes, and some of these choices may not seem very appetising to you. Hope you get a few ideas from this though.

How to curb hunger?
1. Make sure you hit your fat and protein macros.
2. SNACKS (now this works for me, but may not necessarily work for you) - make healthy choices, have jerky! Long live jerky! Liquid snacks count too. Peppermint tea does it for me, but you could have black coffee (or coffee with skimmed milk) or diet coke if that is what you like
3. try and stay away from too many high carb/low fat/low protein combinations and sugary sweets
4. Have a day a week when you eat at maintenance. Take a break, so you don't feel crappy and binge. Maybe do it twice a week. You should enjoy the journey, because it will ultimately translate in to your lifetime habits (or that is the idea at least) - if you look at my diary, I tend to be over my calories quite a bit, but I balance by not logging my walking and as long as the scale is moving (at snail pace, but still moving) I am happy. Don't make yourself miserable over it!

Good luck!

If you say 1550 is maintenance and 1300 is what it will take to lose but is not sustainable then simply do 1300 every other day or every third day. Sure it will take longer but so what. You only have 15 pounds to lose and it will eventually happen. Just eat at 1300 for as many days as you can per month. The only thing I would be worried about is the fact that if 1500 is your maintenance then you would have to only be eating that for the rest of your life....otherwise you would gain it back.
I do a high protein diet and find it very filling. 8 oz of protein per meal and a huge pile of vegetables such as broccoli or green beans. You'd be amazed how many green beans are in only 75 calories. Then include a low calorie fruit as a snack in between meals. Check out my diary. It is low in carbs, low in sodium and very filling. It's also easy to prepare. I grill up a bunch of chicken on Sunday and then put them in Tupperwares for each meal. I have 8 oz of salmon a couple of times a week. An 8 oz steak once or twice a week. And the rest is chicken. Everything is on the BBQ so no added butter or oil. All my vegetables are the microwave in a bag type so again no added oil or butter.

You say no one gave you meal ideas or how to keep from being hungry....what do you call this? Check my diary as I said....I'm the 1300 calorie person you're talking about. All my meals are pretty simple with usually on three ingredients so its pretty hard to screw that up. Maybe you're not really looking for help and just validation that you're situation is doomed.

There are lots of seated exercise videos on YouTube. You could also look at using the weight machines at the gym.
You won't get a high calorie burn, but it may help a little. It will help with holding your fitness level.

Cheers, h.

This was your 10th reply.
How was this not constructive?

To lose 15lb you can only expect to lose .5 lb a week. You are too close to your goal weight to lose any more.

I have maintained at 1200-1400cals for 6yr, the help I give is the same as anyone, no matter their calorie goal, will give: tighten up logging, weigh everything.

Cheers, h.
