Looking for friends 1200 calories per day

Hi all
I'm looking for some friends who eat 1200 calories. Would love some new food ideas.
Thanks

Hey,

I lost 25 kg last year eating 1200 calories a day. I would advise not eating that little .. my hair fell out and I looked so unhealthy. I then gradually increased my calories to maintain to 1500 and then to 1700 over 4 months and then I ended up putting 10 kg back on. I am now losing weight again, not so fast but eating 1500-1700 calories a day and tracking my macros, so just trying to eat 40% carbs, 40% proteins and 20% fats, and I am losing still. Eating 1200 calories a day is a good way to lose weight for a short period of time, fast .. but it is not sustainable. I also found I binged a lot on my 'cheat days' when eating 1200. Feel free to add me and message me

.. in terms of food ideas, I actually bought diet chef as eating all of the meals a day is less than 1000 calories, so I had spare for fruits and veg and a treat I am still doing this now but on top of the diet chef meals I am also eating fish and having protein shakes and having quark and berries (all high protein foods).

I'm doing 1300 which is what my dr advised me to do. I have a list of foods to eat and have to have so many servings from specific groups. I'm having trouble eating that little. I did 1400 today. The hardest part is not being able to use more than 3 tbsp of olive oil a day.

Hey add me! I'm doing 1300 at the moment but once I slow down ill be go8ng to 1200. Looking forward to meeting you!

You can add me. I'm safely eating 1200 all week and a bit higher on weekends. I'm really short and my doc and dietician said I'm fine with the 1200!

Hey thanks for your concerns about eating very low calories however, I'm 5'1 and 110lbs. Most macro calculators actually suggest that I need to eat less than 1200 calories. I don't want to lose a lotof weight, just a bit of fat in my lower half.

Hey there! I'm 5 foot nothing and shooting for 1260 calories a day. Feel free to add me, my food diary is open to friends but I've only just started logging my food. Doing pretty well with it so far tho

laurenebargar

Feel free to add me, im at 1360 but my average is around 1211.

I am on the 1200 calorie plan it's really hard for me I've only lost 6Lbs so far but I'm trying really hard to change my eating habits.

Kissmymutton

I'm also on 1,200! Feel free to add me (this goes for anyone who reads this too!)

*I'm 5"2, and currently 128.8lbs, I know it doesn't sound /that much/ but when you're this short any gain or loss shows!! x

1200 calories doesn't sound like a great idea I think your body slows down and actually tries to store more weight

Headtothemountains

Feel free to add me- I eat 1,200 on my non-exercise days, and about half back of my exercise calories if I exercise that day

ZaraLavoris

Hey, all! I'm on the 1,200 bus, too. If you need an accountability buddy, or an encourager, feel free to add me!

The app tells me 1400 per day. But I never go above 1300. Usually between 1100- 1250 most week days. I'm PRE diabetic and only have been doing this since April 12th. Starting weight was 279. I lost 21 pounds so far. 258. I'm really new to this app only been here two weeks.
I have an issue with counting the sugar in fruits. I don't add sugar to anything and only drink water with the very occasional 4 Ozs of apple juice when I really need something sweet to drink. Is the sugar in the fruit going to make me gain ?

Jen1u

Hi! You can add me too! I'm doing 1200 kcal with C40% P35% F25%. I am eating mainly a no meat diet but will incorporate some meat cheats every so often.

I'm shooting for 1000, most days make it below 1200, on bad days I near 1400 but if I'm under 1200 I'm happy. Most weeks I'm averaging 1200/day. I'll add ya, feel free to check out my diary!

bobijo72

Hi. I'm eating 1500 calories a day, but I don't have much knowledge to go on so I'm trying to be safe. If you want to add me that would be cool

When you're less than 5' tall, 1200 is right on the money. I would love to be able to eat more (and I do on exercise days and some weekends) but for the most part, 1200 makes me lose about 6-8lbs a month and I'm good with that! My doc says it's fine too.

You gain by eating more calories than you burn off. Sugar is not the enemy for most people, but it's always wise not to eat added sugars. So in answer to your question, no the fruit sugar is not going to make you gain weight unless you're not counting fruit calories and you go over your calorie goals.
