Ladies eating between 1400-1600 calories

Rachelito

Show me your diaries. I am having a hard time reaching my calorie goals and still eating healthy foods. My diary should be open so I really am open to suggestions. I dont eat perfect but I am trying to make good decisions, but they are landing me between 1000-1250 calories.

you can look at mine....it's definitely not perfect, but I fit in the same range

Rachelito

Thanks! Your breakfast this morning looks yummy!

Mine also isn't perfect and I still have treats once in a while.... but I try to be in that range most days.

What's this buffalo chicken cupcakes!!? Sounds yummy

You are doing great though! I'd add in a couple extra snacks and you would be where you want to be feel free to check mine out as well. I haven't been 100% consistent the last couple of weeks cause I've been extremely busy and out of town during the weekends. But my days are typically the same every week.

Thanks. And what's a buffalo chicken cupcake??! I'm intrigued....

Looking at the last week or so, it looks like you're doing pretty well. Could always up the green veggies, but we all could! That few hundred calorie deficit (average) might not be a problem.....

My diary is open to everyone. Feel free to have a look. My goal is currently 1550 and I reduce it by 50 after every 10 pounds that I lose.

FYI: I too struggle with eating all my calories because my foods are so filling and satisfying. I have to have a small high fat meal at night just to up the calories. I eat high fat, moderate protein and low carb (65/25/10). Since eating this way I never have to eat a lot to be satisfied; the days of WW bulk eating low calorie foods is OVER. In addition to weight loss, I have had a large number of health issues disappear. It's great.

Edit: So, just add some more healthy fats, and don't worry about MFP default macro goals; they are far too low in fat and protein anyway.

My goal says 1700 right now but I have been playing around with it to get a goal that works better for me.

You can add me if you'd like, I log every day & my diary is open...depending on exercise I eat between 1400 and 1800 most days, with one higher calorie day on the weekend x

What she said about the treats!! I will treat myself especially if I have lots of extra calories (like yesterday) lol

I aim for 1400 but don't always quite make it! Feel free to look at my diary.

Loving all the responses. Thanks! Here is my recipe for the buffalo chicken "cupcakes"


24 wonton wrappers
2C shredded chicken with buffalo sauce
1C shredded mozzerella
1C chopped broccoli

Lay 2 wrappers in the bottom of 12 muffin tins. Mix chicken, cheese and broccoli and place scoop full in each tin. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

They were delicious and 92 calories a piece. In the morning I just threw chicken in the crockpot with a bottle of franks hot sauce, then shredded it.

Mine is open. Just don't pay too much attention to today. There was a McDonald's incident.

My goal is just over 1600 cals. Here is what I normally eat:

Breakfast: Coffee with cream and sugar, greek yogurt, piece of fruit. ~243 calories

Lunch: A grilled chicken wrap with fresh spinach, tomato, cucumber and other veggies, with tzatziki sauce. ~365 calories

That leaves me about 1,000 calories for dinner. I usually have meat, brown rice and veggies. Or if it is something lower calorie like fish, then I can have some dessert.

Friend me & you can see. I usually end up just below 1400 net.

fatty2fabby

mockchoc

Mine is open and around those calories. Feel free to check it out.

Mine is open and I'm generally around there because I eat my exercise calories. I do try to eat fairly cleanly.
