    Its nearly impossible to make macro targets on 1200.
    If you are eating back exercise cals and hitting 1500-1800 then fine but eating a static 1200 is folly.
    BTW expect thousands of these posts in January.

    PS: How many "Is 1600-2k enough" posts do you see daily? Thats because we feel so good about our progress we dont need them.
    =D

    I am 5'1 and 127 lbs, and I eat 1400-1800 cal (total not net) and some days 2000 and I continue to lose weight, and tone up. If I ate 1200 cal per day I would feel like crap. I cant say what I would do if I wasnt exercising, because I do something everyday, even if its just a walk.
