    OK, I'm maintaining at 1720 for the last 6 months. But when I was at 1500 I tried to keep to 300, 300, 400, 400, which was 300 for breakfast and lunch, 400 for dinner and 400 of snacks throughout the day. I can give you examples if you care.

    I would be interested in examples please if the OP wouldn't mind me jumping on this thread. Thank you

    Rather than get random examples of food you may not even like, instead the tip is this:

    Log the food you like before you eat it. Look at the food diary and make small adjustments up or down in portions or ingredients until it fits your desired calorie level.

    I have probably 30-50 Meals saved on here that are 300-400 calories. Once you find amounts and combos, save it as a Meal and you can just keep using it over and over.

    Like, Chicken Caesar salad with avocado

    Chili with chicken and rice

    Shrimp scampi with zucchini

    Protein oatmeal with blueberries and walnuts

    BBQ Chicken sandwich and mixed vegetables

    etc..
