My diary is public.
If you don't feel full and your calorie goal is reasonable for you then look at your protein, fats, and fiber intake and make adjustments there.2 -

Yes I eat 1200-1400 cal most days with an open diary. Nothing very exciting in there but for last two weeks I have not been hungry or had any cravings and I am losing weight so something is working.1

Not sure if my diary is open or not but here's some good tips:
Include lots of low calorie high fiber nutritious foods like non starchy veggies & greens:
Zucchini
Kale
Lettuce
Spinach
Broccoli
Green beans
Bell peppers
Cabbage
Etc...
Lower sugar high fiber fruits:
Strawberries
Blueberries
Raspberries
Honeydew melon
Cantaloupe
Apples
Lower calorie carbs- avoid stuff like bread and pasta and try:
Butternut squash
Spaghetti squash
Sweet potato
Red potato
White potato
Quinoa
Avoid adding oil or butter to foods, use cooking sprays if you do need some for cooking since it's easier to use less- they even have good oils like olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil available as sprays
Add flavor to food with low or no calorie things (instead of butter, oil, cheese):
Salsa
Lemon juice
Lime juice
Onion
Garlic
Garlic powder
Spices
Balsamic vinegar
Other types of vinegars
Fresh herbs
Dried herbs
Soy sauce
Small amounts of ketchup or BBQ sauce
Lower fat/leaner meats help too, higher fat meats like ground beef can pack a lot of calories. I also like to make shakes with protein powder to help hit my protein goals without a lot of calories or having to eat lots of meat- Tera's Whey is a good one that has a lot of protein, few calories, and is sweetened with stevia and is also organic & grass fed (there's also a completely plain version with no flavor & no sweetener). I like to mix the chocolate one with coconut water for extra sweetness & electrolytes- it tastes like chocolate milk! It can also be mixed into things like oatmeal or egg/banana pancakes, added to smoothies, etc. I don't like the vanilla flavor one though, doesn't actually taste like vanilla.
Hope this is helpful!
Btw 1200 calories is pretty low, might want to use a calorie calculator to make sure that appropriate for you.

That's my range, feel free to friend me to see my diary. If I'm hungry I eat and I'm steadily losing.0

I average between 1400-1600ish a day. My diary is open to friends.0
-
Open to anyone, on 1,640, it's pretty boring though as I eat the same things pretty much every day.0
-
My diary is open, and I get 1360 calories. I do a pretty good job of staying full and don't often go over my calories. Add me if you want.0
-
I'm open, & could use some active friends...please feel free to add me.0

Mine is open for only friends. I'll send you a request. My favorite snacks are hard boiled eggs, string cheese, or Greek yogurt to help keep me full. I also do a very protein full breakfast.0

Consider your protein goal an absolute minimum.
My diary is open and calories are within your range, but they are often increased daily by MFP because I track my exercise.
ETA: Just started tracking again after maintaining for a while, so only a few recent entries in my diary. It is much more complete between last March and May.0 -

Mine's open. I eat more like 1500-1600 currently (and don't log that consistently), but back in 2014 I had a lower goal if you want to check it out.0
-
Mine is open to friends so feel free to add me. I'm most creative with my meals on weekends though, otherwise it's whatever the fastest/easiest I'm afraid!0

Mine is open! Enjoy!0
