Starving on No-workout days!

Yeah I think you should switch your activity level. Give it a shot and see if there are good results, if not you can always put your activity level back where it is now.

Awesome Weight loss BTW!!!

As I understand it, once you have been consistently keeping your calories at a set level, then the body adjusts and your weight loss stalls out. Take a break from exercise for a day or two and let your calories go over just a little, and see what happens.

sorry to be blunt, but your diet is horrible. It's not the quantity of calories, but the QUALITY of calories. You eat a lot of junk, and your body will never be satisfied because it's not getting enough nutrition.

Your sodium is really high from all the junk processed foods. Your fiber is next to nothing! You really need to add more fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans, etc.

Treat your body well, and give it something satisfying to eat!

Hi, You need to ramp up you intake of good foods, pasta, rice and vegetables. Your food choices will put you into an energy slump as they are mainly refined foods which will give you a hit, but a slump after.

Do you work full time? I know that makes it difficult to cook from scratch but your nutrient levels will be very low on this diet.

I speak from experience, and yes I do have ice cream and cheesecake and other naughty things, but I do try to find a balance.

Keep with it and try introducing a few new wholefoods and fresh fruit and veg to your diet.

Good luck with it and bloomin well done on the exercise!!

A couple of quick thoughts.

1200 calories is really restrictive. You are on the cusp of not getting enough nutrients. Maybe you would be better off eating your actual MBR and stop logging your exercise so that becomes your deficit.

Also looking at your food diary you are not getting any fresh vegetables and fruit. You are eating a lot of processed foods. You could start by eating only food you prepare. But first thing I would do is increase your lean protein and make sure you getting a good serving of vegetables with every meal. That will help you stay satiated longer. Particularly if you make a few of the meals raw vegetables. Remember a calorie is not a calorie. Why? Because none processed or cooked food requires more digestion which results in more calories burned to convert to fuel. A raw vegetable will net less calories than a cooked one because of the increased energy needed to digest it. In hunter gather times the advantage of cooking was that it made a lot of low calorie foods quicker and easier to digest resulting in a higher net calorie gain. For the modern person fighting to control their weight, raw can be better.

Also try to pick carbs that are longer burning to increase your satiation level. A cup of whole sprouted quinoa is going to keep you from feeling hungry a lot longer a slice of white bread, etc. Foods that burn longer are going to help you keep from feeling hungry. Lean protein, complex carbs and fiber are you best tools from feeling hungry.

Also you getting a lot of processed sugar for someone such a restrictive diet. I would start tracking your sugar on your MFP to keep it done. Keep in mind when you eat less you have to eat better. With your current diet your body has to be malnourished because you are just not getting a lot of important vitamins and minerals and other macro-nutrients necessary to stay health.

Get away from the processed foods, and put a lot of protein in your diet (hard boiled eggs or greek yogurt in the mornings) will keep you satisfied till lunch time. I was on the 1200 calorie restriction for a month, and I didn't ever feel hungry, because I was eating real food and staying away from the processed foods -- makes ALL the difference.
