    What is your goal by consuming only 1200 calories per day?

    Did you know that eating too-few of calories can actually cause our bodies enter starvation mode? The thyroid hormones needed to fuel your metabolism can’t be produced and our metabolism starts slowing down. Our bodies start clinging to fat stores as a source of energy and we become sluggish.

    The ideal caloric intake is based off an equation that first calculates your BMR to include your height, weight, age, gender.

    http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/

    Once this number is established, the next step adds in your activity level in the Harris Benedict equation.

    http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/harris-benedict-equation/

    This final number is what you should be consuming on a daily basis. The ideal plan for your body is 40/40/20, meaning 40% carbs, 40% protein, 20% fat. This keeps your body in fat-burning mode while allowing the gain of lean muscle. It also allows your body to maintain a higher energy level and feel full longer!

    I hope this helps, feel free to add me :)

    But yes it would be great to have a 1200 calorie buddy - and btw for short people like us 1200 is totally sufficient for our nutritional needs

    I'm at 1200 per day. But I do add in at least half my exercise cals per the site. So I'm around 1400 per day.
    Feel free to add me ;)

    I'm on 1200 per day (but will be upping it once I start to plateau). Feel free to add me, sometimes I go over and I eat the majority of my exercise calories back. Been here about 6 weeks now but was on holiday and not trying for 2 weeks, have just spent the last week losing what I gained on holiday so what I have achieved in 6 I had actually achieved in 3!

    Hope all goes well for you. xx

    I'm on 1230 calories a day and am only on day 3 as I just started on Sunday. It's going ok so far but I earn some extra calories by walking my dog so I can have some little treats!
    I try to eat fairly healthily but at the moment I'm concentrating on getting my weight down without depriving myself or eating to many 'boring' foods. Once I get nearer target I'll work on the macros and the nutrition!

    If anyone wants to add me please do as I am new here, my diary is open :smile:

    Also at 1200 calories, but seem to be eating more than that. By registering everything you eat, I never realized how much I was eating. I eat healthy anyways, but apparently too much. My downfall is snacking on the wrong things too.

    I think that 1200 NET calories a day are OK for shorter women like us. My goal is to lose 1 pound a week which also doesn't seem to be unhealthy or too fast. Moreover I even feel I eat quite a lot:-)

    If we keep working out both cardio and strength and eat the right stuff we could even speed up our metabolism!

    Plese feel free to add me as well:-)
