    I allow myself up to 1500 calories a day, but usually stay closer to 1200. I eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day, sometimes 3 snacks. I also struggle with snacking sometimes, but I just try to make the best choices. When my boyfriend is munching on a bag of potato chips, I make some kale chips or grab some carrots and hummus. I make sure I have plenty of produce around, and buy 100 calorie packs of almonds for guilt free snacking. I also never eat anything from the package (unless it is a pre-portioned package.) I always measure out the serving size.

    Me too...

    On a similar note, I also get sadz when I look at how many calories I could have been eating to lose weight vs how many I actually did eat to lose weight.

    I wish I had taken the advice of long time members here and found my TDEE early on and adjusted intake from there.

    Not to be a mood killer, but the reason you "can't control" your snacking is because 1200 calories isn't nearly enough for you. At your height and weight, you could eat 1460 calories per day and lose a pound a week - and that's if you don't exercise. If you do some exercise, you could bump that up to 1650 and still lose a pound a week. If you work out a lot, it would be even more.

    THANK YOU!!! I was thinking the same thing!
    And OP BMI is in the normal range. She should eat more and start lifting.

    Well I was 1200. People on here talked me into going up. Had my first appt with a dietian at the health and wellness center and she told me I should aim for 1260-1300. So I am following her plan for me.

    For some people apparently 1200 is exactly what your body needs. Idk. At 1260-1300 she still has me only getting a pound a week.

    I do eat more when I have exercised and can allow for it. I don' t intend to stay at this calorie intake forever and I am working with a nutritionist. I am hoping that as my fitness level increases that I will move my caloroe intake. I just neded a good start gained so much from medication in the last 7 months. Over ten pounds a month it was awful.

    Another person here who tried 1200 and failed. Please don't fear high numbers when it comes to calories. I lost plenty of weight before stalling for 5 months and eventually giving up. I was also tired and miserable.

    I net 1700 calories and have lost 20lbs. But with my exercise included I'm eating normally over 2000 calories a day.

    My thing was this: If I can eat 1700 calories and lose weight, why would I eat 1200 calories. Just doesn't make sense to me!

    Agreed - why would you?

    However not everyone is you and not everyone can eat 1700 calories and lose weight.
    I certainly couldn't - I eat that now and I maintain my weight.

    This thread is for those who do need to eat only 1200 calories or thereabouts.
    These would usually be older, shorter, not so active women.
    I cannot see your statistics but your photo doesn't look very old to me.

    I my goal is 1200 a day and with meal replacement shakes and healthy eating I normally stick pretty close to it... some days I eat 1300 or 1400 but I try to never go over 1500... Feel free to add me.. I'm always looking for new friends :)
