I love to snoop through diaries to inspire me. Many of you have meal ideas I'd never think of. I tend to eat the same foods over and over and am trying to spice up my grocery list. Unfortunately I'm short and only lightly active so I just get jealous looking at the diaries of all you people with higher tdees. 1200 calories is my goal but some days I eat a little less, some days a whole lot more. I'm not overly active here yet but I'm trying :)

    I'm interested too, I can only eat 1200 since I'm super short. I'll go make sure my diary is public...

    I don't log, but what works for me to help cut calories is a focus on vegetables (leafy greens, anything cruciferous, tomato, cucumber, celery) a little fruit, and lean protein.

    I have very similar calorie goals to you. I aim for 1200/1300 and eat back exercise calories.

    My diary is open so feel free to add, although I have been doing very badly lately! My meals are generally OK but I have been snacking a huge amount- I am a stress eater and have had some work issues. I am hoping to get back on track from today.

    I'm also interested! I was really surprised that the big salad I ate yesterday had very little fiber in it. So I've been researching some additional sources of fiber. I'm definitely going to be eating oatmeal for breakfast this morning with some blueberries, both of which have a good amount of fiber, and adding some beans to my lunch salads.

    I'm on 1500 calories a day and my dairy is public but feel free to add. Not sure about others here but have been pleasantly surprised by the meals I have been preparing. As a big guy( I'm over 6 foot and weigh 173kgs) I thought keeping to my count would be hard but honestly I find that I've been not just keeping to it but feeling full each day. Again feel free to add as all support is not just welcomed but appreciated

    That's a great idea! I recently changed my weight loss to 0.5 pounds a week so that bumped my calories to 1700. I struggled to get to 1200 before but adding in snacks between meals has really helped. So now i eat between 1200-1400 most of the time. working on eating more.

    My calories are set to 1834 right now but I have 5 meals a day that are between 250-400 calories per meal.
    I post daily.
    I usually remove people if their diaries are closed. It's weird to ask for accountability buddies and keep that private. ha

    I also have made my diary open to friends :smile: I'm also tiny, so I'm at 1200, usually I eat between 750-1300, depending on the day. Shooting for at least a thousand a day!

    Feel free to add me! I am currently at 1250/day but am slowly reverse dieting to reach 1500 by Sept. I’m small so my maintenance is around 1600. I eat vegetarian at home and do intermittent fasting.
