Anyone else 4'11 and have a max of 1200 calories out there??

I'm 5'7 but I get 1200 cal max too. I do a lot of repetitive stuff just because it's easy and i already know the calories by heart. LOL

I'm only slightly taller at 5'0", and my goal is set at 1290 calories. It is tight for me. I had to change some of my daily meals (especially breakfast), and I have to often plan ahead for dinner. I started eating half portions of meat and extra vegetables so I could stay in my limit. I know a lot of people don't "eat back" their exercise calories, but I do take advantage of a few extra calories to squeeze in a treat every once in a while.

I'm in the same boat with the same height. I eat lots of chicken, fish and veggies and always drink my water. I eat some of my exercise calories back, but not all.

Exercise and increase your calorie allowance.

I'm a little taller than you - 5'2.5" - but my target is similar, 1280 cals.

I work out 4 times a week so I can eat a little more on those days, and I have one day a week (either Friday or Saturday) where I eat whatever I want but still log it. Having a day off is a bit of a mental trick I play with myself. What's interesting to me is that I'm in the habit of eating properly, so I end up staying within reasonable limits, but adding a treat or a dinner out. Having the free day also seems to help my metabolism to not stall out, which has been an issue for me in the past.

For breakfast every day, I make a protein shake in the blender:
1 scoop Twin Labs Vanilla Slam whey protein (130 cal)
1 packet Starbucks VIA instant coffee (3 cal)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (40 cal)
ice

OR on a workout day, I have about 150 calories more for breakfast post-workout:
1 scoop protein powder (130)
1 cup frozen berries (70)
2T PB2 (55)
1 cup coconut water (40)
1 T chia seeds (40)

When I get to work I have a 12 oz soy cappuccino (70 cal) -- yes i am lucky we have this at work
Mid-morning I usually have a small apple (55) and a tiger's milk bar (150,) which feels like a treat.

Lunch is a cup of original Kashi Go Lean (140) with a Dannon Activia Light (70) mixed in, or leftovers from the night before - a protein and some veggies for around 200-250 cal.

Afternoon snack is often a piece of fruit (60) and an ounce of cheese or some pb2 (~110) or a couple of servings of whatever veggies are in season.

Typical dinner is either tofu and veggies or poultry and veggies or fish and veggies. Occasionally some brown rice or whole wheat pasta.
One recent example is:
Ground turkey, 4oz (120)
Tomato sauce, homemade from fresh tomatoes, garlic, herbs (55)
Safeway Select stuffed rigatoni, 5 pieces (180)
If I don't add the pasta, I add a bunch of extra veggies and put the sauce on top.

Evening snack, if I have one, is a piece of fresh or dried fruit, some veggies and dip, or a piece of dark chocolate for ~75 cal

And that's about a 1280 calorie day for me without going hungry.

My typical day looks like:

breakfast:
trader joes fiber medley cereal
1/3 cup of coconut milk (silk brand)

snack: grapefruit

lunch: 1/2 cup black beans
1 jalepeno
1/2 tomato
1 clove garlic (I steam them and throw them in with the beans and a bit of sea salt)

or whole wheat english muffin with tomato and a bit of neufchatel philadelphia cream cheese

snack: apple

dinner: fish/chicken and veggies or cous cous and pine nuts or soft taco/taco or whole wheat pasta with organic pasta sauce

snack: yogurt or nectarine or strawberries

late at night watching TV/movies I eat 94% fat free popcorn

if you are working out you probably need to eat the calories you are burning off. I actually lose more if I don't workout which is really weird.

I'm also 4'11 and have a 1200 calorie goal. It was really hard at first to meet the 1200, because I always felt hungry, but my body is adjusting to it and I'm more satisfied with my smaller portions.

I usually plan on 200-300 calories for breakfast, 300-400 each for lunch and dinner, and the rest in snacks. When I exercise, I eat larger meals or more snacks.

When you're our size, it's definitely harder to lose weight. A taller person can eat 1200 calories a day with a 500 calorie deficit per day and in theory lose a pound per week. A 500 calorie deficit just isn't healthy when you're smaller. I am losing weight though, just very slowly, and that could be because I'm not being super-strict with my food and exercise. But I am noticing more of a difference in my body as far as being more toned and having more energy when I exercise.

Im 5'0 with 1200..

I have completely eliminated soft drinks and replaced them with water. This has helped with the calorie count.
