1200 Calories a day friends?

Add me

I'm at 1230 but please add me if you like, I'm always looking for food ideas to fit in my day I haven't been faithfully logging the past week or so...the Hurricane Matthew had me busy with other things! BUT I am back on track now.

Add me!

You look super slim already, what is your overall fitness goal? I found that lifting is a great alternative (and more sustainable) to just cutting calories.

@peaceout_aly Just because I am curious if you don't mind sharing, how many calories do you eat to maintain your current fitness and figure? I don't know how tall you are so its hard to guess but I'd guess like 2000 or so?

Also 5ft 3 and on 1200, open diary so feel free to add me

Add me. I have just started and 1200 is my goal for the day.

@peaceout_aly how many calories do you eat on daily basis? Added you hope you don't mind x

Of course! Love making more MFP friends.

My goal is 1,400 x day (maintenance) + I usually burn 200-300 which I eat back putting me at an average of 1,600 x day. I do cardio for 20-minutes on upper body days only and usually lift (very heavy with less rest time between sets) for 60-minutes 5 x week. Since MFP overcalculates exercise burns, I usually put in the accurate elliptical time, but decrease my lift time when logging. That way when I eat back those calories I'm not eating way too much.

I aim to hit 115 grams of protein while staying under 100 grams of carbs and 40 grams of sugar.

If I don't eat back those calories, I lose weight. This is just the happy medium I found for myself. I can gain muscle and strength while losing fat. Let me know if you have questions about lifting or nutrition though. I'd be happy to help!
