I cannot say this enough lately - the 1200 calorie guideline was created in 1918. 105 FREAKING YEARS AGO! We need to abolish this archaic myth from our minds, myfitnesspal calculators, and what we teach our children about health. Less calories does not equal better health. Please everyone who eats at that or lower, really do your research on healthy calorie amounts.

I recently discovered reverse dieting and I have nearly tripled my calories and have not gained any weight but I feel more amazing than ever. I wish all of you the best.

Thank you for posting this.

It’s a great resource.

Personally the reason I have 1200 set in my goals is to make sure I get the very minimum on days I’m struggling with nausea or some other similar issue.
I often go over, usually by quite a bit.
But since I’m disabled my activity level is below sedentary so it seems to work out (for me. I’m not saying 1200 is good for most people)
