5ft 1 allowed barely any calories.

I am 5ft, on 1260 calories and I do fine my dairy is open if you fancy a nosey

5'3" here and also only allowed 1200 per day. I typically eat a small breakfast and lunch and finish the day with a bigger dinner. For example: 90 calorie special k bar for breakfast. Small salad with a turkey burger patty (no bun or bread) for lunch. More turkey for dinner... I like turkey. Or I'll just get a sandwich from a fast food place.
I also work out to eat. It really helps when you're able to add in those extra calories you burn to eat

Good luck!

I am confused why everyone is saying they are only allowed to eat 1200 calories.
I have over 100lbs to lose so I have my weight loss setting to 2lbs a week.
If you only have 1 stone etc. to lose it might be worth changing your setting to lose 0.5lb or 1lb a week you will have a higher amount of calories to eat daily

breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it kick starts your metabolism, and helps you burn fat during the day.
A small insignificant breakfast, or skipping breakfast can actually make you gain more weight.

Noooooo ignore this person. I think he's getting his diet advice from the 1970s.

Agreed, total bro-science. When you have your meals is irrelevant and has no effect on how much fat you burn, calories in vs. calories out dictates that. But, breakfast can be important in preventing you from going hungry and overeating later on in the day. A 90 calorie breakfast seems like self-punishment.

It's yet to bother me. I've never been much of a breakfast eater, so that's probably why it's easier for me to eat a very tiny breakfast.

shows how clueless you all are then.
Breakfast is the most important meal as when you sleep thats what the muscle rebuilding process/fat loss process are at their most optimal, everything happens when you sleep...
When you wake up your body needs nutrition and substance, a decent breakfast starts the metabolism which fuels weight loss. fact.

having a small insignificant breakfast isn't helping the process.
400 cals for a bowl of cereal and milk is about right, granola, muesli etc are all high in fibre, which is calorific. but good calories, not all calories are bad for you.

This is just nonsense I'm afraid (and the Science says that) and is just a myth meal timing has no implication in weightloss. Your metabolism works 24 hours a day muscle building fat loss etc goes on all the time. You're body doesn't sit there waiting for you to go to sleep.

If you like breakfast and it works for you eat it other than that don't. Many people find that eating breakfast can make them more hungry. Those who do IM fasting also find that that could work for them. Personally I eat breakfast but normally very small because I run early most days. I am then likely to eat more mid morning.
