Welcome. I started at 1300/day and found it very difficult to ONLY eat that amount, now 6 weeks later and I am struggling to consume that much. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT! Anyway, I am aiming for 1200 since I know it is unhealthy to be under. I too love to get new recipies or share anything I learn. Feel free to add me.0

Heya ladies! I'm not on a 1200 calories diet but I just want to put out there that a lot of times MFP will calculate the caloric intake wrong.
That said I'm going to save you all a little trouble and give you the tools to better calculate your own caloric intake.
1200 calories is fantastic if you are below 5 foot tall.
Most of you are probably 5'2 and above.
Check out this website: http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/
Do the military body fat calculator to get your Body Fat %.
Then
Do the BMR tool to find out how many calories you should be eating daily.
Set MFP to the new calories and adjust macros to Protein and Fat 30% Carbs 40%.
This will foster an environment in your body for maximum fat loss with retention of lean mass.
From my experience at doing hundreds of numbers for MFP members and seeing their success I can tell you that you are not eating enough to lose proper weight and at some point in the NEAR future you will either plateau or fall off the wagon.
For instance, the past 16 sets of numbers i've ran for women 5'2-5'3 who worked out 3-5 times a week were between 1600-2200 calories per day.
So if you stick with 1200 calories a day you will lose weight...at first.
Most of it will be fat but 20%-50% of it will be muscle.
So I'm happy I stumbled across this forum and I hope I saved a bunch of you from posting a thread later down the road titled something like "I'm on 1200 calories and not losing any weight!" or "I'm eating and working out but the headaches!!!!"
Please PM me if you have any questions about this post.
The Fat to Fit tools will give you the EXACT amount of calories to eat daily.
And add me too because I can pass each one of you off to my friends list.
Everyone on there eats a high calorie diet and they are losing fat an maintaining muscle mass.
