Hi I get this has been siad a billion times but I really find it hard to eat 1200 calories as it is, mainly as I've changed my diet so when I exercise I can be at least 500 calories under. I'm still losing weight but have ordered some shakes to help the gap on Sundays I play squash and go to the gym I don't want to stop but know being that far under calories isn't healthy.
How do yo guys and girls fill your calorie gaps or do you lower your excercise times?

    Did you cut your dietary fats really low?

    Add some healthy ones back in.

    Cook with an extra Tblsp of olive oil.

    Replace your low calorie snacks with nuts and nut butters.

    Add avocado to soups, salads, wraps and sandwiches.

    Get rid of "fat free/diet" dairy products, buy full fat.

    Eat some ice cream, have a beer. It's not complicated.

    Well, you can also take however much you're under for the day, save the calories all week and have a pizza party on Friday or something and use them on that.
