Hi, everybody! This is my first message on the boards! I am hoping some of you who have a 1200 calorie limit would comment here so that I can click on you and view your diaries. I'm just searching for creative ideas I don't know of. Thanks!!!

    Hello! My food diary is public, so you can view it if you like.
    My daily goal is 1200 a day. Some days I can manage to only eat 600, but others I'm at a full 1800, aha.

    Also, I'm only 4 feet 11 inches, so 1200 isn't "too little" for me.

    I would suggest www.skinnytaste.com or emilybites.com. Both sights have some amazing recipes and are healthier versions of foods you know and love:)

    This! Personally, I'm far from 1200, I usually eat more around 1600+ a day, but this website helps a lot. And the chicken parmesan is killer!

    I'm at 1230,but when I burn 500 cals I usually add 75-100 to that. Feel free to add and look. My Fruit Smoothie is skim milk, fat free yogurt, and 1.5 cups of fruit (papaya, pineapple, mango, strawberry mix). The dinner salad is 5 cups lettuce, cucumber, green pepper, parmesan, flax seed, and light dressing.

    I have my goal set to 1300 so I don't dip under 1200 regularly.

    I just put my down to 1200 after trying to stick with 1350 and not seeing results. I doubt I'll be able to stick with it, but maybe it will be better if I shoot for 1200 instead of 1350.

    Mine should be open as well. I'm at 1200, but I work out every weekday (and some weekend days) so I can include wine in my diet. ;) No workout = no wine. baha

    You can look at mine, I usually am right around 1200 calories. Hopefully you get some ideas! My diary is public (I think).

    I'm at 1200. Mines open. I get some walks in so I have a few extra calories sometimes. All normal food - most of it full fat. ;)

    I am set at 1200 but exercise for more calories. lol. and then sometimes go over but am getting results. Check it out. You will get some ideas. I like to cook but also eat out a bit. I don't deprive myself of much I just do it in moderation. :happy:

    I am trying for 1000 cals a day. You can add me and check out what I eat. I do exercise just about everyday though, so I am really eating around 1500 cals or so, just burning a lot off.

    Im on 1200 and Im very happy with that. I occasionally have wine or beer and I either work that into my 1200 or I go over. I rarely eat my exercise calories. I also have a few recipes in there so feel free to check those out too. I eat out pretty often and count those calories too! Feel free to friend me :bigsmile:

    I've been attempting 1200 but because I eat small meals (less than 300 calories) I find it hard to reach that target unless I turn to junk. I've recently decided to go cold turkey and completely stop consuming processed sugars because I realised my 1200 calorie diet was becoming uncontrollable - two days ago I consumed 1855 calories, of which only 358 was from nutritionally dense foods. Once I start consuming sugar, I can't stop. I have absolutely no self control unless I go cold turkey, so now I'll be consuming around 1000 calories because that's the amount that I can fill with nutritionally dense foods
