Question About Meeting Calorie Min

Choose some calorie dense foods - avocado, olive oil, nut butter, nuts. If your dairy is non-fat - eat 2% or more.

You just need to eat more. 1200 is the absolute minimum for anyone. If your only getting 1200 calories, chances are you are lacking nutrition.......If you don't eat enough protein and your exercising, your body will start to break down your muscles and feed on them. In return, your weight loss will not be fat loss but instead will be muscle loss. When your trying to lose weight, this is the last thing you want to do. The more muscle you have, the faster your metabolism is which means the more fat your burn. Contrary to popular belief, your body needs fat. But you want to avoid trans fat. Trans fat is found in packaged processed foods. And too much of anything is not a good thing. You also need carbs. Your carbs come from grains, fruit, and vegetables. So basically, I'm saying you need to look at your food diary and see where your lacking proper nutrition and eat your calories from the food your missing out on.

Also, are you setting the 1200 calories or did MFP set this based off your current weight? Most people think the least amount of calories means the quicker the weight loss which usually makes their body go into starvation mode. If your body thinks your starving yourself, it will hold onto to everything and will not allow you to lose weight.
