    Feel free to look at mine. I usually end up being a little under it most of the time.

    1200 calories a day here. I got my diet plan from my nutritional doctor. I just saw him a month ago and we reviewed everything. All is still good. Even with my increased exercise and strength training, my food plan can remain unchanged. If I want to add 100 calories on my weights days, I can. So as long as the doctor says it's all good, I feel fine to continue as I am. I log everything, and am confident I'm pretty accurate. So far, so good. I am doing high protein/high fat, low carb.

    1200 NET calories is my daily goal but I am exercising so am consuming more than 1200 but realizing 1200 or just under as my net goal for a targeted loss of 1 - 2lbs per week. So far, so good. I just keep telling myself that slow and steady wins the race.

    Don't get defensive. The majority of the people around here eating only 1200 calories or under have no reason to be eating that little. And the majority of the ones claiming they are eating 1200 calories and are not losing weight are eating more than they think.

    How on earth would you know?

    run a search of "is 12000 enough" or "help! eating 1200 and not losing" etc etc….

    Same here - I aim for 1000 and if I go to 1200 that's ok but I also don't take into account the exercise calories. I am losing around a pound a week and should be at my goal in 5 weeks. But I am 65 and do not require as much as you younger people do to keep healthy.

    Feel free to add me - I'm new here! I'm 5'4, work at a desk job, and try to net around 1200 calories per day. I do eat back my exercise calories.

    I am at 1300 but tend to eat less. I am vegetarian and lightly active. Losing weight and feeling better than ever. Feel free to add me.

    Anyone can add me, too. I am 5'3" , desk job and my maintenance is 1550. I am NETTING 1200, so I do eat back exercise calories..which means I actually eat anywhere from 1400-1600 a day. I think people need to start adding "NET" or "GROSS" to their daily calories.. I think it would cause less fights :)

    wow 1200 calories that's not a lot of food.

    You can look at my diary if you want I am at 1700 and losing great...just in case you need ideas...

    If you are going to do the 1200 tho be sure you eat back your exercise calories and net 1200 min.

    And remember you can eat more and still lose weight...1200 is the minimum that MFP will give you if you have set to high a weekly weight loss goal...you only have 7lbs to lose and at 1/2lb a week you would find you have lots of calories...might help you stay the course more than restricting yourself a whole lot...

    Just a thought.

    ^^ This is basically it! :smile:

    I'm aiming to net 1200 calories per day and not finding it overly challenging to meet that goal. My diary is open. I sit at a desk ALL day, so I don't have a very active lifestyle. I do enjoy eating exercise calories though, on the days where I get to the gym!
