hi all!

I am really hoping this works, new to calorie counting, my goals tell me to do 1200 calorie diet, does this mean I can eat all I want just dont pass 1200? Can anyone stir me in the right direction on a good 1200 calorie diet that will work and that I wont starve, I have the worse sweet tooth also, some days I get the shakes and I need to eat a little peice of chocolate to get the shakes to go away. Please help as I am totally lost! I need to lose 45 pounds.

    Hey! If you exercise, your daily calorie intake is going to increase, and you should eat most of the extra calories it adds so that your body doesn't think you're starving. Here are some meal ideas:

    The important thing though is that you become familiar with your body and your food. Ask where things come from. What's in season? What ingredients are in what you're eating? Eat as many whole, seasonal, even local foods if you can. Exercise but don't go overboard - just staying active and on your feet most days is more helpful than you think. Good luck!
