Need some 1200 cal friends with open diaries

Added you I eat at 1200 though I do eat my exercise calories back.

I have a diary listed at 1000 cals per day, with a low-carb diet, if that would help.

[Edit]: P.S. Starvation mode is a myth for people with normal ranges of body fat.

Add me if you want! I try to stay under 1300. I would love someone else to bounce recipes and ideas off of.

I try and keep right under 1300 calories.... I often go over my sodium, Protein

I'm boring

3 servings of cereal
.5 sometimes 3/4 cup of 1% milk

Lunch
Roast beef sandwich 1 slice of bread

Dinner
Chicken Sandwich 1 slice of bread

That's just a quick summary feel free to look at my Diary

I'm a 5'9 male started at 286.... a year later 182

Cheers

My diary is set to 1200 cals, but I am considering upping it to 1300, I still make some good dinners though if you want to add me.

I just started a week ago and have kept it under 1200. I'm 40 and tired of fat rolls - and like to eat simple, which means I hate cooking and want to prepare something fast and get it over with lol

I started at 163 lbs and have lost 4 lbs so far. Would like to get down to 135-140 lbs. - hopefully before summer starts (aka: swimsuit time). I haven't gone to the pool or beach in about 8 years. I'd love to lose the fat rolls, get toned and buy a cute swimsuit !!!

Anyone else feel free to add me as a friend! My diary is open!

Hi- I would love to be friends with mfpers who are eating 1200 calories, I am looking for ideas based on other's diaries of how to spice up bland foods and dry chicken!

Please don't respond that 1200 is starvation mode-it is how I lost 30 pounds and the only reason I gained most of it back was due to my atrocious portion sizes and eating habits. Plain and simple.

Thanks! Waiting to hear from others who want to share diaries and ideas

I'm curious as to why your chicken is dry? If you season a 4-6 oz chicken breast and bake it at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes, it should be cooked and still plenty juicy. I cook it that way all the time. On the stove top, I cut it up, sautee it in olive oil for a few minutes with seasonings, and it's still juicy. Mixed with sauteed zucchini, asparagus, broccoli, snow peas, green beans, etc, it's quite delicious.

Smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder,sage, fresh ground sea salt and peppercorn, are all good seasonings to use on your food to add tons of flavor.

Just a pinch of real grated Parmesan cheese can add a lot of flavor as well.

maybe try some vegetarian meals? stir fried vegetables in PAM spray, with rice?

hi, I sent you a message and friend request., I've done my diet plan with 1200 calories, and as I said in my message, that is what my nutritional doctor recommended. we discussed it again yesterday and he said I am right on track. it's working fine for me. I'm not hungry, not tired, haven't lost muscle mass. so far, so good. my diary is open. I'll gladly accept any friends to share info, provide and accept support. thnx.

EDIT: I should add: if you look at my diary for today, my intake is a lot more than normal; I'm meeting a friend for our monthly local spaghetti dinner outing; it puts me over for the day, but HEH, life goes on )

I eat upto 1200 and more when i have excercised, feel free to add me, plus my food diary is open to friends
