    I'm aiming for 1200 a day as well ... I've FR some of you ... but any of you are free to FR me as well. My diary isn't open, it's password-protected, so once you're my friend, you can PM me for the password if you're interested.

    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 :)

    that was freakin conFUSING as hell. I didnt understand one thing.

    Ill stick with 1200 calories.

    You can add me if you like. I am actually at 1100 calories (supervised by Dr) so that would give you room in your daily total. My diary is open. Not saying you should be at 1100, just saying if you wanted to see what I eat and build on that you can.
    Please no comments about the 1100 calories, it is Dr supervised.

    Just curious is there a reason why the Dr. put you at 1100? I would be starving.

    My friend made me download this app and it's pretty cool. Based on my BMR I am suppose to consume 1200 calories a day. I weigh 136 and not really trying to lose weight but I would like to weigh 117. I don't regularly exercise and I eat what I want and most of the time it isn't good lol (tastes good but not healthy) I am going to give this a shot and try to eat well while still not exceeding 1200 calories. It's gonna be a challenge. Add me if you'd like :) Good luck everyone.

    I have mine set for 840 calories. I usually go over so it is easier for me to have it set lower. I am 4'11 with 30 to 35 pounds to lose! Add me!!!!
