    Feel free to add me. Mine is 1200 base, but with my exercise calories usually around 1450 (I try to eat those back but do not always succeed.) I try to use mostly whole foods, although that doesn't always work, and easy meals (mom of 4) and am very honest in my diary down to the little stuff!

    I am eating 1500 but I work evenings so tend to be rolls/sandwiches for main meals as well as good breakfast.

    Looking to keep protein up, monitor fat %, sodium and sugar grams. Supplementing protein with whey powder in creative ways

    Feel free to add me

    I'm just starting and will be eating 1200 calories some days, which had me kind of worried about nutrition so I made this kind of framework to refer to. If I want to bump up to 1400 or 1600 I can just add an extra snack. Now, I probably won't follow this exactly, but I'm still glad I did it just to see how I could fit things in.


    BREAKFAST– 300
    - large egg, cheese, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese or protein = 70
    - whole grain cereal, pancake mix, whole grain bread or muffin = 130 calories
    - 1/3 c frozen blueberries or other fruit = 25 calories
    - ½ c 1% milk = 55

    OR a Jimmy Dean Light sausage-egg-and-cheese bagel for 270 calories and a little fruit on the side.

    LUNCH – 350
    - soup (creamy tomato, beef barley, minestrone, french onion) or salad/raw vegetables with dressing = 100-150
    - quesadilla, sandwich, taco or little pizza = 200-250

    OR a larger sandwich with lots of vegies, like Subway = 350

    DINNER– 350
    - Protein: 2 chicken drumsticks, 1 beef patty, 5 ½ oz cooked shrimp, 5 oz cooked salmon, 1/3 c refried beans with ¼ cup cheese, or other protein = 150
    - Starchy food (brown rice, sweet potato, whole grain thin bun, pasta, etc) = 100
    - Vegetable: 1 c cooked green beans or spinach, 4 roma tomatoes, 2 c broccoli slaw or raw summer squash, ¾ c raw chopped carrot or 2 small carrots, 2-2/3 c raw mushrooms or other vegetables, or vegetable juice = 40
    - Good fat: ½ tbs olive oil or coconut oil, or ¼ c avocado = 60

    SNACK– 190
    - protein shake (1 c unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop protein powder, ½ medium banana), or
    - 14 almonds, 1/3 c nonfat Greek yogurt, and ½ c peaches or other 60-calorie fruit, or
    - 1 small banana with 1 tbs Nutella, or
    - fruit smoothie, or
    - other snack equal to 190 calories

    ... and 30 calories for gum or a Hershey's kiss or diet cocoa or something.

    I have reached a point in my life in which I have decided that it is time to take care of me again!
    As a mother of two small children, student and working full-time; I have neglected my own health.
    Recently, quit smoking a decided that I want to be both healthy and slim again. Not skinny, but feeling good. I recently starting hitting the gym 4-5 days a week, and hired a personal trainer. My trainer is always encouraging me to eat more! 80% diet and 20% Exercise? Anyway, I am finding this battle difficult as I have actually gained weight from something? Exercise? Needing some pals that are on a 1200-1500 calorie range- along with any tips, ideas and or suggestions. I even had some blood work done recently to rule out any potential issues….. From the looks of this web site it seems that the resources available here; do indeed work. .. Hope to gain some good insight :-)

    Always looking for friends with similar goals who loves good food and fitness so anyone feel free to add me:smile:

    I'm also set at 1200 and eat anywhere between that and 1500 on exercise days. I just opened my diary so take a look -- I could use some inspiration also:) It's not perfect by any means but I eat clean mostly and do my own cooking.


    Some days I'm comfortable at 1200 and some days I'm starving...especially now that I've upped my workouts. Anyone else going through this?

    Are you in the UK/Ireland? I find I don't recognise any of the foods on my American friends' diaries, because we don't have the same brands in Ireland x

    Hiya,

    I'm in the same range, feel free to add me.

    I eat most of my workout cals back.

    mine isn't the best, but I don't 'ban' myself from any foods. Everything is good in moderation :)
