    I snack plenty on 1200-odd a day. It's enough food AND you get to eat more when you exercise. I only struggle when my boyfriend cooks so I have decided to cook more often.

    I'm 5 ft and I also got 1200 from MFP at a 1 pound a week. I workout 4-5 days a week, take my vitamins and I make the most of every food I put in my mouth I meal prep on Sunday measure almost everything I eat, so far I'm doing pretty good losing steady :)

    Go for food that fill you up. Soups do an amazing job. I'm actually making a spicy butternut soup right now! Snack on low-calorie foods like cucumber, cauliflower, and broccoli. I am a big believer in egg and veggie muffins. They pack a punch but contain relatively little calories. And don't forget about proteins such as eggs and pulses. They're cheap, they're nutritious, and they're yummy.
