    Have anyone went on a strict 1200 diet and manage to not cheat at all? I would like to hear from some of you whether 1200 calories is hard to stay on. I am actually a fairly active person burning 2000-2500 calories per day according to my Fitbit. I hope to stick to 1200 for a month and lose some weight.

    I've been on 1,000-1,200 calories without any binges and burn 1,800-2,000 according to fitbit. Eating high fiber foods and high volume, low calorie foods (lots of produce) helps. So does protein. As for desserts/treats, I usually make my own, otherwise I'll buy Alyssa's vegan bites at a local Publix. And no, 1,200 is not hard to stay on IMO.

    so if you are on 1200 calories and burn 1800-2000 you are netting negative calories, or do you mean the 1800-2000 includes your BMR and does not include exercise burns?

    My BMR is around 1370-1380. My TDEE is 1,800-2,000.

    if you arent obese you should not be eating less calories than your BMR.That is the calories your body needs to function properly. without exercise.
