Hi All,

I was just wondering how everyone breaks down thier calorie intake for the day. I am on a 1200 cal diet (not adding additional exercise calories) and I was wondering how everyone breaks down thier intake I usually have breakfast, lunch dinner and 1 -3 snacks.

Any feedback will be greatly appricated

    So far its 3 meals 2 snacks but I find that its leaning toward the whole 5-6 small meals through out the day. I'm eating about every 2-3 hours depending on when my day starts. This week I"m gonna try putting more fruis/veggies in just to fill out my meals with better calorie choices...

    I try to eat every 3 hrs. I realize some people cant do that but even if you can keep a serving of pretzels or animal crackers in your purse that will help.

    I am going into maintaining my weight gradually, so i actually eat close to 1800-1900 calories per day (that's including exercise calories) but I'm going to have to up that pretty soon. But I snack and eat meals on a pretty routine basis.

    8am Breakfast 300-400 calories
    10:30am Snack (usually .5oz of raw almonds) roughly 100 calories
    12:30pm Lunch 300-400 calories
    3:00pm Snack (granola/yogurt/fruit etc) 200 calories
    6:00pm Supper 400-500 calories
    8:00pm Snack 200 calories
