    I agree with most other posters, 1000 is way too low. You will likely loose weight initially but it will be a struggle filled with hunger and cravings. It will not be a healthy weight lose for sure. The damage you will do to your metabolism will then take time to repair.

    you all need to chill, 1,000 calories a day is fine :p Just eat really nutrient rich foods
    Sure, if you're not concerned with anything other than weight

    I would get a different dietician. Also, if you want to respond to people, press the 'quote' button at the bottom of the response you want to respond to.

    I'd get a second opinion or even a third. Just because someone has a "credential" doesn't mean they're right or even good at what they do.

    I was actually put on a 1000 a day calorie diet by my dietitian on Tuesday. I am 23 years old and 261 pounds :(. I work about 50 hours a week at one job go to school at night and i have a pt job on sunday from 2-11 (being a broke college student sucks!!) I have high stress and anxiety which im trying to find the best ways to control it without pills.

    My Question is since im always on the go can someone take a look at my food diary and kind of idk hint me on what to incorporate??

    here are a few suggestions for food to include in your diet (your diary's not open) and should be able to eat on the go.

    hard boiled eggs
    lean turkey
    high protein boca burgers
    nuts
    look for a low sugar high protein bar (my husband likes builder bar)
    fish (i don't eat fish so can't help with suggestions)
    lean meats (96% lean hamburger, loads of veggies all stuffed in a few tortilla wraps
    oatmeal
    greek yogurt
    peanut butter
    chicken
    beans
    avocado
    chick peas (or hummus) dry out the chick peas in the oven and enjoy
    hard cheese
    string cheese
    grains (brown rice, quinoa, barley) - you could make yourself a homemade burrito with these
