I was wondering if you could either copy and paste an average day from your diary for me or you can feel free to add me so I can view your diary :) Also, if your diary is public, please let me know here.

I am trying to look at a variety of what people are eating to stay within their goals so I can get a better idea how to fill my day.

Thank you so much!

    Sample 1200 calorie day from back when I was still dieting.

    8AM – 2/3 cup FiberOne cereal (60) 2/3 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk (20) – 80 calories
    10AM – 6oz Kroger CarbMaster Yogurt – 60 calories
    12 noon – 2 slices 40 cal bread (80) and 1 ounce turkey (or ham) (30) condiments or veggies to equal up to – 150 calories
    2 pm - veggies or fruit as much as you can get for -100 calories Depending on what you pick this could be a good bit of food
    4pm – Lite Cheese Stick 50 calories
    6pm – (2 grilled chicken Caesar Wraps) 2 light FlatOut wraps (180), 6 oz grilled chicken breast (210), half a bag of Dole Lite Caesar Kit (135) – 515 calories
    8pm – ½ PINT! Arctic Zero vanilla icecream (75) Walden Farms Caramel Sauce (0 I don’t know how they do it) ½ a FiberOne brownie (crumbled up on top) (45) – 115 calories

    That is a 1070 day with dessert so I would typically add a 100 calorie bag of popcorn to a ziplock bag in the morning and use it as a grab snack during the day. I know the nutrition natzis won’t like that I do desert instead of more healthy items for my 8pm snack but it made the limited calories so much more doable.

    Sorry I just copied and pasted a random day. The formatting does not work but I left it as is so you can see calories and carbs etc... I was a bit short on my calories that day but I was stuffed so I just left it as is (I made up for it the next day :) )

    Edit to add: I usually don't have two protein shakes in a day but I was trying to get in some extra calories and protein so I did that day. Maybe not the best day to pick but whatever.
