I am trying for around 1500 calories/day. Just getting started good, and getting "bored" with the healthy food, as I am a junk food addict. But want to make changes for life! Just need some ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. I work full-time (desk job) and have small children that have lots of activities...basically I'm no Rachel Ray is what I'm getting at....haha. It seems like I am never fully satisfied. Any help is better than none, and thank you in advance.

    Try some of the Hungry Girl recipes. They are low calorie substitues for a lot of the tasty fast food that is so bad for you, so it can satisfy the cravings you have for bad food. Plus, most of them are very simple and quick to make, so it should be pretty easy.

    I am maintaining and eat a bit more than you, but feel free to look at my diary. I do not log weekends anymore but weekdays are always logged.

    You can look at mine, my goal is 1200 calories right now.. I have only been doing this for 3 days now though. I don't go over my carbs, fat or calories but I do go over in protein sometimes. I still make the same dinners we've always had, just more portion control now and a salad or steamed veggie for the side instead of a loaded baked potato..

    My goal is 1400 and I eat 300 of my exercise... or use my TDEE at 1700
    You can send me a friend request and see mine if you want.

    I generally hit anywhere between 1420 and 1575. Feel free to add me to see my diary, but be warned in advance, there's nothing spectacularly delicious about it, and I eat primarily meat, protein shakes, and bars.

    I am trying to maintain on around 1700 right now. It's certainly not perfect but my diary is open to anyone who wants to look.

    I eat 1500 a day, and you're welcome to look at my diary.

    It's not always that exciting to be honest - I have a 3 and a 1 year old who like quite plain things like fishcake and veg, chicken and veg, jacket potato and tuna, so that's the kind of thing we eat.

    I just aim for lots of protein, and quick and easy child-friendly meals.

    Mine is open for viewing. I try and stick around 1,325 calories, but it hovers. I get a lot of food ideas from Pinterest. You should check out the weightloss boards and foodie pages. Or try and buy one new food item a week and learn how to prepare it. Last week I got a bunch of leeks and started adding them to my eggs, stir fry and all kind of stuff.
