    Hi! I also have a calorie goal of 1200. I am trying a low-fat approach, mostly veggies and lean meats. I've tried MFP a few times before. I'm hoping I stick to it this time and lost the weight!

    I am doing 1200 calories a day as well. My food diary may look a little weird because I juice during the day but I wanted to account for that as well.

    How do I add friends, lol?

    I have a max goal of 1240....I try to stay below that if at all possible. I hate counting calories, so I have chosen to measure neutrients.....calories are just a bi-product of neutrient tracking!

    My goal is 1200 and most day im below goal !!!! i have lost 3 pounds in one week and can feel the difference when i put my work cloths on. they are not tight. i really try to eat natural foods vegies and salads and if i eat something that is way out there i will not be eating that again. i have tried lots of ways to loose weight and i feel this one is going to work for me.

    I'm a 1200 per day but after I input my workout(s) for the day mfp gives me a bonus 500-700 more calories! haha I don't want to eat more cause it's too late by time I get home. So I think my breakfast and lunch needs to have more calories, haha I never thought I would ever say that! Is anyone else in this predicament?

    Hi there (second post - still quite long sorry!)

    My Calorie goal is 1200 per day, and I am usually under it. I don't have my diary as public, but can tell you what I eat.
    It's a bit monotonous, but I don't mind as I really like those foods.

    Breakfast:
    1/2cup muesli; two tablespoons low fat unsweetened lite Greek style yoghurt, 1/2c of low fat milk (not the lowest or green top as I hate that!). Calories - around 250, a bit more if i add fruit

    Lunch:
    2 slices wholegrain (vogel or burgen) toast, half a large tomato sliced thinly, pepper and finely sliced spring onions or parsley to flavour. (occasionally I add 50g low salt feta cheese for variety). Calories - around 230 (without feta)

    Dinner: (we bought half a cow and had it butchered with almost all the fat removed, so always have lean meat; and we use rice bran oil)
    100g lean meat; 200 - 300g of vegetables (example mix will be onion, broccoli, carrot, capsicum, sometimes green beans and mushrooms) and 1 small potato (or sweet potato, or rice etc).
    Add any herbs and spices you like, and canned (with no added anything!) or fresh tomatoes are a great addition for one pot meals.
    This can be a pan fry, grill, stirfry or casserole , but be careful what sauces you use. Pre-prepared ones are loaded with rubbish and can ramp up your calories.
    I usually make up something with low salt soya or garlic sauce, a little cornflour for thickening, water from steaming or boiling vegetables, then add chillies, garlic, ginger or any spices you like for flavouring. Calories from 300 - 330.

    Our rule for dinner is that (no more than) a quarter of the plate should be meat, a quarter potato or rice etc, and the remaining half is to be vegetables.

    With two to three cups of coffee a day my total count is usually around 850 (just rounding, don't correct my maths!). Then with the remainder I get to have 2 glasses of wine with dinner which suits me just fine :-).
    Oh and I do a 3k walk most days, plus a few other things once or twice a week.
    I still seem to be losing around 800g a week which I'm happy with, as I don't want to go too far too fast and then find I can't maintain it.
    Hope this helps.
