im not losing any weight so far with 1200 kcal diet..wats wrong

It's because you are not eating enough. The 1200 calorie diet means to eat 1200 calories. If you exercise, you need to eat more. Most people here eat back 50 to 75 percecnt of what they work off.

Luckily for your body you are likely to be eating far more than you think due to inaccuracies in logging. You should be aiming for at least 1200 (in all likelihood with your exercise more than that. As your BMI is well within normal range and your goals seems to be a BMI only just above underweight I would ask why you think you need to lose weight? If its a body shape you wish to get I suggest concentrating on proper nutrition and doing some form of resistance training. This is more likely to give you results than attempting to starve yourself. If you go across to the fitness forum there are plenty of people who will be able to give you great advice on a lifting/resistance program

Good Luck

i was eating at 1200 for 4 months and lost around 2 stone doing this. i then plateaued more than once and was stalling even creating a bigger deficit not eating exercise cals back. i was then told to try upping to 1400 to shake things up for a few weeks and i started losing again. still doing 6 days of exercise a week and sticking to 1400 per day certainly helped. i felt hungry at 1200 now at 1400 i feel i can get through my workouts

BTW i am 5ft and 147lbs

true, I eat 1800-2100 calories a day and thats still losing 1lb week for me (if fat loss was my only goal).

If you aim for 1200, unless you weight EVERYTHING you will more than likely be eating more. Try carb cycling for something new, and eat around 50-70g of fat per day.

I was surprised to find that my 112g chicken breasts were really 236g-320g range.

100g is pretty much 30g protein, 4g fat, and 0g carb. when youre trying to stay around a certain calorie range, eating 300g chicken makes you eat at least 300 more calories than intended (in my case, I want the protein and not so concerned about the calories).

Please open your diary. It is likely that you are eating more than you think.

Are you weighing and measuring your food, or just guessing at serving sizes? All the foods listed as homemade, are you (or someone in your house) making those or are they just entries you've found in the database (ie, do you actually know what has gone into them in order to have an accurate idea of their calorie content)?

I hav prepared them and i knw the quatities.. So im quiet sure abt that..

But are you using a food scale to weigh everything? If not, you're eating more than you think.

this is the 2nd thread in two days where the OP'er is asked if he/she uses a food scale/weights everything yet that questions keeps getting avoided or overlooked...
I once thought i new the quantity of my protein powder because it came with a scooping cup and that was one serving. When i decided to weight a serving it turns out a true serving was about 3/4 of that scooping cup and not all the way to the top.

So, you're trying to consume 900-1000 calories, then burning 400, thus leaving your body and all it's complex functions 500-600 calories.

Putting that into context, at a state of coma your body needs 1286 to happily maintain essential functions.

A random online calculator states your total expenditure of calories per day, basically what you'd need to consume to maintain your current weight is 1824.

You're consuming 500-600 calories.

If you're logging and weighing is accurate, you're basically starving yourself. You're starving your body of the fuel and essential nutrients it requires and over a sustained period of time will be doing serious irreversible harm to your body.

However, if this was the case, you'd see weight loss. Not healthy weight loss, but you would be losing weight as your body ate up whatever it could to continue to function and survive.

Either you are putting your health at serious harm, or your logging and weighing is incorrect.

PS

Can I have the recipe for your 100g of Chicken Curry for only 124 calories.

PPS

Can I have your recipe for Pani Puri Chat With Pani and Chutney where 5 puri are only 106 calories.

My spidey sense says troll.

Post looks AWFULLY familiar...as in, I've seen this exact post before...as in, troll.

15 is really not long, certainly not long enough to be a good guide as to whether you have lost weight or not.

"Im tryin to lose atleast 5 -4 kgs in a month or 45days maximum.."
No, just No
Time scale diet's like this just won't work, to lose weight correctly you have to change your eating habits, lifestyle and outlook, 45 days just isn't going to cut it.
