Those on low calories eg 1300

Eggs, bacon, cheese, avocado, fish, beef, pork, goodies made with Coconut or almond flour, nuts, etc.

Hey I can’t add friends as the app doesn’t let me, but I find 1200 a day is usually ok, happy to share my ideas and recipes etc

Yummy!

High fiber cereal with nonfat Greek yogurt for breakfast most days;

open-faced tuna or chicken salad sandwich with avocado on high-fiber/whole grain bread for lunch, sometimes with cherries or watermelon on the side (sometimes a hard-boiled egg); but today I had a quinoa and black bean dish with veggies and a dressing of olive oil and spices;

high-protein afternoon snack (sometimes protein shake); but today was more carbs, a carrot with some hummus;

chicken or fish often for dinner with some sort of grain (quinoa, brown rice) or whole wheat pasta with margarine and Parmesan cheese; sometimes baked fish tacos; and usually a large salad;

plain Greek yogurt with sweetener and blackberries for an after dinner snack.

I eat all my exercise cals back, usually with more carbs, sometimes with nuts and every once in a while a treat (I had a piece of caramel chocolate and a small serving ov Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia ice cream yesterday after a 7-mile hike.

I'm aiming for 1200 on days when I'm pretty sedentary, 1300 if I end up doing more walking or going to the gym.

Yesterday I had:
Protein shake made with water for breakfast (~120cal)
Edamame and black rice salad bowl for lunch (~400cal)
Huge bowl of veggie stir fry with tofu and wholewheat noodles for dinner (~650cal)
Plus a couple of black coffees and teas with semi-skimmed milk (total ~50cal)

When you say you're not feeling full, is it that you finish your meal and still feel hungry, or is it that you feel hungry again soon after eating? If it's the first, you could try adding more low-cal veggies to physically fill your stomach. If it's the second, make sure you're getting protein in every meal (protein keeps you feeling fuller for longer).

I have two eggs with hot cocoa for breakfast.
Overnight oats with blueberries and protein powder for lunch
Yogurt for snack
Boiled 4oz chicken breast and 5 oz broccoli for dinner.

That's about 1100 calories but very filling. I hit my protein and fiber goals most days.

My diary is open and I'm at 1330.

I try to aim for 100 calories per snack, 100 calories at breakfast, 200 for lunch, and 300 for dinner. That typically gives me wiggle room on days I have a cocktail or wine, and I adjust based on how hungry I am that day.

My favorite food items are typically high protein, like fat free cottage cheese, egg whites, light string cheese, yogurt, hummus. Good luck! Wish MFP made adding friends a little less clunky because this would be a good thread for me to add from!

@tmarie2715 I'm on an Android so don't know if that matters, but if you click on the person's picture you either click on it a second time or you choose the right option. I think I remembered it correctly!

I'm on 1200 cals--in a wheelchair. I'm losing weight after 50 days. Typical foods all day, different days are 1 egg yolk and 3 egg whites sauteed, slice(s) of Tillamook cheese, fruits, coffee with Isolate whey protein, water, water, water, lean protein like baked chicken w/ garlic and spices, veggies, veggies, veggies cause they make you FULL, if bread: thin 60 cal a slice bread, (no mayos), lettuces, quinoa, unsalted roasted almonds, teaspoon of toasted pumpkin seeds, radishes, Chobani yogurts with small amount of granola, blueberries, sweet potatoes full or 1/2 as a main dish some meals, spices to make fun, tomatoes, **whole foods** cooking. Once in a while 1/2 servings Amy's frozen veggie lasagna or a slice of their pesto pizza. Eat and discover the high fats of Whole Foods pre made dishes! :-( Going to any restaurant is a landmine unless you really trust them to not soak your meat in fatty, salty spices before grilling...there are moments everyday where I feel mildly hungry. But I don't rush to the fridge to fill up like I used to. I try half an apple sliced with lemon on it, or a small handful of dry Cherrios believe it or not. I rock n roll with variety and odd things at different times, I don't feel the need to eat 'breakfast foods at breakfast', etc. I steer clear of drive thru's. I don't buy any crap sweets. I sometimes use Spenda in my coffee--(kill me!) and I'll have a diet Coke now and then. I discovered all of this through daily experimenting and online reading of low cal, high protein foods. Still learning everyday. Chickpeas next!
