    feel free to look at mine.

    I have only just started paying close attention to my macros and making a conscious effort to eat cleaner, not less.
    I am set at just over 1200 calories and most days go just under.
    I home cook 99% of our meals and don't eat out often. I avoid most pre-packaged foods and snacks and find it much easier and healthier to make my own.
    Having said that, if I feel like a chocolate bar or an ice-cream once in a while - I'll get one! I'm certainly not going to deprive my body. I'll squeeze in a red wine a few nights a week too as long as I can work it into my daily goals.
    Yes, it means I have to weigh everything and build my recipe bank in MFP, but so be it :)
  • I, too, am at 1200.

    Mine is set at 1200 and diary is open to friends. Feel free to add me if you'd like. =)
  • My daily goal is 1500 but I end up under 1200 pretty commonly.

    My goal is around 1300 but I almost always net less than that, so feel free to use my dairy for ideas :) Though be warned, I just now started logging again after a long break period, and I don't log every day.

    I was at 1200 but upped to 1350, diary is public. Check it out
  • Feel free to view mine. I usually stick to that range or just above.
  • I aim for 1300 a day, and a little more on hard exercise days. My diary is viewable by all. I cook at home a lot, and post my recipes on my website when they come out good. I try to make meals that are less than 400 cal. Anyone is welcome to use them, and I am slowly adding more (http://crystalthegreat.org/).

    Feel free to friend me and take a look at mine. I'm a vegetarian - so I might have some ideas for everyone’s meatless mondays! :)

    I do this as well! I'd prefer take a little extra time to weigh things and include recipes in my bank in MFP so I can be sure of how many calories i'm eating :) If i have take-away, I always look up the calories beforehand and plan my meals. And if I go to a restaurant, I try to figure out as close as possible afterwards. I log every day, and I'm generally under my calorie goals.

    I try to exercise 4 - 5 times per week (strength and cardio) and sometimes I eat back my calories if I want to, other times I don't. Depends on how I feel!

    My diary should be open to public so you can look at that :) Or feel free to add me.

    I made up a batch of turkey burgers 2 weeks ago (~270Cal each) and Tuna/Potato/Corn burgers this past week (~250Cal each) for lunches which worked well for me. I prefer to leave more calories over for night time as I like to eat a bigger dinner and to have some under my wing just in case :P
