I am desperately trying to shed these last 10lbs but as a long time veggie im finding it impossble. I am only supposed to have 1200 calories a day and I go to bed starving at night. Any other veggies out there? I need some dieting advice. And protein shakes don't cut it either!

    try to fill up on low cal soup!
  • Hey there! Eggs, beans, veggie burgers and, oatmeal are my staples. I cant imagine only eating 1200 calories...try power walking in the AM or evening to allow for some more calories!

    Can you open your food diary?

    I'd like to take a look at what you're eating before I recomend anything.

    I'm a lifelong veg and have no issues feeling hungry at nights.

    Stick to 'clean' foods if possible....I myself have a down fall for vegan gummies.

    Soup is SOOOO high in sodium! I am a veggie, and granted I probably don't eat the 100% best, and I try to watch my sodium, but it's really hard sometimes. You are free to look at my diary, granted...may not help too much.

    Good luck!
