1200 calories per day...

I started looking into cooking low calorie foods. www.skinnytaste.com www.hungrygirl.com and also Google. New food, New ideas, New ways to eat 1200 calories.

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.

^^^^^ THIS, but you are welcome to check out my diary!

I'm at 1270 per day without workout calories. You're welcome to add me and check out my diary.

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.

I'm at 1300. My dairy is public if you wanna take a look, or friend me.

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?

I eat 1500 a day, feel free to check out my diary and just omit one of the snacks! Friend me if you want too.

how can I look at others' food diaries? I don't have any friends here yet.

Click on my screen name, go to my profile, there is a button that says "view diary".

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.

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:

My meals
Fruit and Fage greek yogurt for breakfast/snack
For lunch I usually have some version of a salad with ground turkey and marinara or taco seasoning, or maybe chicken breast and buffalo chicken sauce
I usually include some baby carrots and maybe a fruit cup as well as a jiff peanut butter to go for dessert

For dinner I have chicken curry sans rice, spaghetti using spaghetti squash, buffalo chicken sandwiches, low calorie chili, chicken veggie soup, etc.

I started ot at 1200 but I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere so last week I amped up to 1640. That week I lost 5lbs. I hope to do it again or more.

Not much.....but with some exercise you can add a few calories! Good luck!

im at 1200, feel free to friend me and check out my food

I typically eat between 800-1200, I am trying to eat closer to 1200 now because i stopped losing weight (for the past two weeks) when i was typically losing around .5 pounds a week. I never truly believed that you have to eat more to lose more, until I hit my plateau. Anyway, you can take a look at my diary and see what i typically eat, it doesn't vary much because i LOVE what i make so much that i can't wait to eat it everyday, but i try new recipes pretty often!
