I find that cutting a watermellon up and puttin them in baggies and taking them to work is great. I substitue lunch for watermellon or pineapple.

Feel free to add me.

I dont' eat all my exercise cals but aim for 1200 which is my minimum. I am not 'dieting' though this is the long haul for me. :happy: the word diet has me failing after a month! :blushing:

shadowfx

I am, roughly roundabout. I have about 60lbs to drop and just at the start of my journey. About to start 30DS as well. Add me if you like

sonybalony

Yep, I run about 1200... changed it to reflect 1300 because I was in a challenge that some points were for being under on calories and I HATED the stupid little thing yelling at me when I was under! So I added a buffer so I could be right about where I wanted to be and not lose points/be yelled at! lol :laugh:

My diary is open, but I do tend to eat the same kinds of things over and over! lol (I need some variety too!)

btw, you look really good for 96 years old! :laugh:

Most women who choose a sedentary get 1200 calories.

Bovaryoo

Feel free to add me. I'm also on a 1200 diet. I do get a few more calories when I exercise, but I try not to use that many of them. I'd be curious to see what others are eating too.

MFP said I should be eating 1600 calories, but I changed it to 1200, I have lost 18 pounds in 3 months, and am 10-13 pounds from my goal weight...I think.

Missmaggieann

I have combined the south beach diet with this MFP 1200 count and have done well so far.

You can add me as well. I just started using this site. I was using the BodyBugg, but now my subscription expired. I haven't decided if I want to renew it or not.

Hi I'm on the 1200 calorie diet as well? -

My breakfast Menu is usually one of the following

1 light english muffin - with egg beaters 2 thin slices of ham 1 0z of chees and tsp of mayo
1 Mission Tortilla with seasoned ground turkey tomatoes sour cream and sometimes 1 - 2 ounces of cheese
1 potatoe cut up in boiled - onions and peppers sauteed in water in seasoning then I add water and seasoning in a pan and cook everything together.

Lunch

Turkey burger on a light english muffin with lettuce and tomatoe w/ sliced apples
Lean Cuisine Meal - I love there chicken pot stickers there a little spicey but very filling and they come in a nice serving size in the bag
Peanut Butter and Jelly on light bread
Grilled Chicken on Misson Tortilla with tomato sour cream and sometimes shredded cheese

Dinner

Lean Cuisine Meal
Ham or Turkey sandwhich on light bread with fruit or veggies
Grilled chicken on light bread or light english muffin with fruit or veggies

snack

Dole Fruit Bar
Kashi Trail Mix Chewy Granola Bar taste great

I will be adding refried beans next week - I have a wedding to go to in two days so I don't want to be gasy... but I try to stick to high fiber items as they make me fuller and my weight seems to come off as long as I'm not going over board with pasta and I keep my breads light.

Diet can also just be a word for what you eat in a given day... Doesn't have to be the bad connotation

I already friended you, but wanted to post here too in case anyone else was looking for new pals.

Victoriav99

Thanks Everyone!!! I can't wait to see what your food diaries consist of! I'm always looking for new meal ideas.

Me, but I exercise at least a bit every day to earn more 'cos I find 1200 pretty low.

I have porridge (oatmeal) for breakfast every morning as it's filling and has fibre.

I drink lots of decaf coffee 'cos I find a hot drink helps me feel like I'm fuller and adds to whatever snack I'm having.

I'm trying to bump up my fruit and veg (especially the veg with dinner) and only eat lean protein. I go over my protein allowance every day, but I do it deliberately 'cos I find lean protein fills me up.

I try to make sure I'm eating and snacking regularly so I never get starving hungry and tempted to make bad choices.

Hmm... that's all my tips... I'm not a genius at this at all, but hoping to keep at it and make some significant progress.

Just sent a request.

During the week (since I've started a bootcamp, and am working with a trainer/nutritionist) I eat one serving of almonds (sometimes only half) and have coffee. Cause I am not a breakfast eater. Occasionally I'll have a boiled egg white as well.

Lunch is a salad with lite ranch and a boiled egg and or chicken, or a salad with italian and croutons.

Dinner is whatever I fix. Tonight was spaghetti & broccoli. Last night was pork chops red potatoes and fresh green beans. Generally a protein/carb/veggie.

Morning snack is one half deli flat with honey peanut butter. Afternoon snack is a mini snickers. And then I have calories that I have to fill in, so I drink them. Either dr. pepper, or alcohol.

You can add me if you'd like - I'm on 1200, would like to increase the exercise, but am unsure how many of those calories I will eat.

I am now on 1200 and just really getting started....Long way to go for me.... I started trying the recipes posted in here...some seem really great.

Hey guys just want to clarify something....if I have to be on a 1200 calorie diet everyday then burn 500 calories during exercise does that mean I have to eat a 1700 calorie for that day? Thanks! Kinda confusing:-)

write2sonya

Hi there. Feel free to add me. My goal is 1200/day and I a trying to lose 60lbs!

morganhccstudent724

slippymcgee

I have lost 46 pounds since January by sticking to 1200-1300 per day. Plus I cut out sugar, all flour and almost all corn. I eat lots of fruit and salads and dairy. It is doable! Good luck. You can add me, too.
