    Protip on dieting.....

    Nutrition is 70%, sleep is 20% and working out is 10%.

    So eat more, sleep more then workout.

    Find your TDEE and cut 20% off that for your MFP calories daily.
    Dont eat back cals unless you are overtraining.
    Easy as pie!

    You get use to 1200 calories eventually and it's pretty easy then.

    Your hormones beg to differ.

    I would starve on only 1200 calories a day!

    Ditto

    But I also hold a bit of envy for people that can get by on that much...or little should I say.

    You cannot generalize about a "perfect height" and weight for an individual without more information, including his or her bone structure.

    She wants to be 90 something pounds.

    1200 calories is my target calories as well, but I want to enjoy food. So I kept eating the way I normally do and just cut down my portions. I'm also a picky eater so all sandwiches I eat dry and salads I just squeeze some lemon juice on. I also started exercises 6x a week for at least 30 min so I can add 100-200 extra calories in. My normal day is

    Breakfast
    4 oz OJ
    1/2 english muffin with butter

    Lunch
    Oven Roasted Turkey on split top roll
    some kind of chips or pretzels (only 1 serving)
    Dr. Pepper

    Snack
    small portion of homemade strawberry shortcake - my slice is only about 130 calories

    Dinner
    4 oz of either grilled chicken, pork, or steak
    small side salad with lemon juice
    8 oz cranberry juice
