I'm getting bored (after a week) with my current meal & snack combinations. Need some new ideas. Is there any way to see what other people on a 1200 calorie plan are eating?

    You could check out my diary, but only if you like cookies and pizza. My dinner is usually 1,200 or so.

    Eat what you always ate. Just cut fat, sugar, bad carbs and portion size. Little changes make a big difference. Get yourself a food scale too.

    I didn't eat that much when I was losing weight but you can check my diary for dates between Dec 2010 and June 2011 and you'll see what I ate that yielded about 800 to 1k cals (net).

    The food scale is a must; plus, I've gotten quite fond of Chobani Greek Yogurt, medium apples, clementines, almonds (Blue Diamond has some great flavors), and air popped popcorn (the brand I use is 4 cups for 120 calories!!). Also, definitely get your water in. Good luck.

    Mine is 1200...but I dont have to stay at 1200 due to the extra calories I earned during exercise.

    I eat a lot more than 1200, but if you cut my portions down, you might get some ideas.. my diary is public.

    I eat 1200 cals a day and my diary is open. Friend me if you'd like and you can see what I'm eating. while I do occasionally eat things not good for me (processed) I cook as much as possible. I recently bought hungry girl 300 under 300 and have enjoyed everything I've made so far. Right now I have a cheeseburger mack attack (noodles, cheese, 96% 4% ground beef and cauliflower) in my crockpot for dinner. 1 cup is 179 cals! Smells delicious. I made lasagna cupcakes (165cals a piece) out of won ton wrappers and I use egg roll wrappers often as well since there are only 60 cals in a large one. I use them to make pizza pockets and chicken pot pie pockets. My husband has loved everything I've been making so far.

    1310 calories is where my goal is at, i typically burn 600+ from cardio daily however I typically do not eat to make up the difference.

    I use a food scale to weigh all my meats and meaure out all my serving sizes in measuring cup. I am only on my second week and I feel like it is already getting easier to do. I eat 1300 calories a day. :laugh:
