Hi all
I'm looking for some friends who eat 1200 calories. Would love some new food ideas.
Thanks

    I'm doing 1300 which is what my dr advised me to do. I have a list of foods to eat and have to have so many servings from specific groups. I'm having trouble eating that little. I did 1400 today. The hardest part is not being able to use more than 3 tbsp of olive oil a day.

    You can add me. I'm safely eating 1200 all week and a bit higher on weekends. I'm really short and my doc and dietician said I'm fine with the 1200!

    Hey thanks for your concerns about eating very low calories however, I'm 5'1 and 110lbs. Most macro calculators actually suggest that I need to eat less than 1200 calories. I don't want to lose a lotof weight, just a bit of fat in my lower half.

    I'm also on 1,200! :D Feel free to add me (this goes for anyone who reads this too!)

    *I'm 5"2, and currently 128.8lbs, I know it doesn't sound /that much/ but when you're this short any gain or loss shows!! x

    1200 calories doesn't sound like a great idea I think your body slows down and actually tries to store more weight

    Feel free to add me- I eat 1,200 on my non-exercise days, and about half back of my exercise calories if I exercise that day :)

    The app tells me 1400 per day. But I never go above 1300. Usually between 1100- 1250 most week days. I'm PRE diabetic and only have been doing this since April 12th. Starting weight was 279. I lost 21 pounds so far. 258. I'm really new to this app only been here two weeks.
    I have an issue with counting the sugar in fruits. I don't add sugar to anything and only drink water with the very occasional 4 Ozs of apple juice when I really need something sweet to drink. Is the sugar in the fruit going to make me gain ?

    I'm shooting for 1000, most days make it below 1200, on bad days I near 1400 but if I'm under 1200 I'm happy. Most weeks I'm averaging 1200/day. I'll add ya, feel free to check out my diary!

    Hi. I'm eating 1500 calories a day, but I don't have much knowledge to go on so I'm trying to be safe. If you want to add me that would be cool

    When you're less than 5' tall, 1200 is right on the money. I would love to be able to eat more (and I do on exercise days and some weekends) but for the most part, 1200 makes me lose about 6-8lbs a month and I'm good with that! My doc says it's fine too.

    You gain by eating more calories than you burn off. Sugar is not the enemy for most people, but it's always wise not to eat added sugars. So in answer to your question, no the fruit sugar is not going to make you gain weight unless you're not counting fruit calories and you go over your calorie goals.

    I eat 1200 - i'm 4'10 and have an initial total of 26lbs to lose hopefully by October (I've lost 10lbs so far), then I'll set my goal as I like after that.

    I really like trying to cook healthy new meals, so feel free to add! (don't judge me - im learning!)
