    If you want people to give you advice on your diary, you should change your settings to make it public.

    If your profile is accurate and you're a 27-year-old male, you're eating far too little.

    There's a glitch right now on the mobile app version of MyFitnessPal that's giving absurdly low calorie goals for many people. Try opening up the website on your desktop or laptop and resetting your calorie goals. The lowest it should technically give a man is 1500/day plus exercise.

    1200 for a man is pretty low. How much do you weigh? And how much do you want to lose?

    From first glance it looks like you are eating a lot of fruit. Fruit is good and healthy, but it has a lot of sugar and can leave you feeling hungry. You might want to limit your fruit to only one serving a day, and add in some more protein and fats. But everyone is different! As long as you stick to your calories, you can really eat whatever you want. How have you been feeling this last week?
