1200 calories a day

Hazeleys

Would someone be willing to post a typical 1200 calorie day? I'm finding I run out of calories before I run out of day! Thanks in advance!

I just started, been doing this a week but you can see my journal @ agrmom. I'm certainly not perfect but I trying!

I normally eat for breakfast: a lite english muffin with 1 teaspoon of natural peanut butter and fruit
for lunch: low sodium turkey breast lunch meat on sandwhich rounds and fruit
for dinner: chicken breast with veggies and some carb side dish. I try to make from scratch to watch sodium.
For snacks I eat popcorn, ritz four cheeze cracker and granola bars. And every night I eat 2 mini snickers for a treat.
Good luck

you can view mine as well if you like. I try to space my meals out and eat less towards the beginning of the day and more at the end

Hello!!
I will suggest you to get advice from a fitness trainer. They will suggest you how to deal with 1200 a day.

I'm seeing a weight loss doctor and a dietician and basically I have been told to have a 300 cal breakfast, 400 cal lunch and 500 calorie dinner. I can have two 100 calorie snacks but I would have to add exercise to earn those extra calories. To see my food diary you can add me as a friend.

Variety. High intensity flavors. Pile on veggies like spinach, peppers, onions, celery, lettuce wherever you can. I don't score those because even if you pig out and and choke down an obscene amount you're still only looking at 20 of the world's healthiest calories! Make room for indulgences and I feel the need to leave room for booze. At this day I was 2.5 months in and about 185 lbs, down 20 from my start and losing 2.25/week. Notice this total is 1214 calories with ZERO exercise to offset. And my office/science job is mostly sedentary so that's featured in my profile. 1200 calories is tough, but even for a food loving big guy like me it was doable, and with the pounds dropping off I had all the motivation I needed to tough it out. Bear in mind though that at some point your adipose reserves will drop to a point where it's no longer easy for your body to balance its dietary needs with it and you may need to readjust your weight loss rate goals to maintain your sanity. I found my brain/mood let me know when I actually needed to up the calories...felt shaky/weak and very grumpy. In your profile you can not only let the app set your caloric goals but you can manually enter it in. eg when I would change my goal from 2 lbs/wk to 1.5 lbs/wk I felt it gave back too many calories so I left the weight loss at 2/wk and manually entered a calorie number BETWEEN its suggested values for 2 & 1.5. Gave me just a little extra and it was like an oasis in the desert. GOOD LUCK! Those low targets require a TON of discipline!

My diary isn't viewable but if you like raw vegetables and salads, I find them to be a tremendous asset when reducing my calories. My lunches always include raw veggies and I usually have a humungous salad at dinner time. (Easy on the salad dressing). I also often add a couple of hard boiled eggs or small amounts of chicken, fish or cheese for extra protein and flavour.
