Hi! I have 1200 calories diet and almost every day i have left around 300 calories..
I don't know what to do?
Should i sort calories in meals different because most of them i eat in the afternoon, should i eat it or not?
What am i allowed to eat in the evening?

Thanks a lot! :))

    If you have calories left you should eat them. Make them healthy and it's when you eat, it's what you eat.

    If your hungry then eat them! Keep it healthy though, if your not hungry, then dont eat just for the sake of eating! :)

    Well, you can eat what you want, when you want, but you probably want to eat throughout the day and not excessively at one meal. You do need to eat at least your 1200 calories, though. From what I read on here, and myself included, the weight comes off more easily if you are eating your required number of calories. You may even want to check your BMR and go with that. Unfortunately, my BMR is right around 1200 calories anyway due to my size, age, and gender. However, your BMR may be several hundred calories more, so it's worth checking out.

    Eat only if your hungry not because you still have 300 or so calories left. Also, my motto is you can eat ANYTHING but in moderation. I never deprive myself and always go for the healthier choice first.

    Good luck

    That happens to me all the time :/
    Sometimes I just reward myself by eating something that I wouldn't normally have, like a piece of chocolate or something.
    But then again, if it doesn't happen too often, I don't think you have to eat all your calories every day.

    if your bmr is 1450, by only eating 900 in a day, you're not even giving yourself enough for fuel surely?

    Good ways to get the cals up healthily without forcing large amounts of food down, nuts, and seeds!

    I too have read alot of posts about how you should get all your calories in or your body will go into starvation mode and start storing fat. The more I read on that, the more it makes sense. Also agree with checking your BMR. Good luck in whatever you decide to do!

    :grumble: It doesn't matter whether you eat carbs at night or day, etc etc. This is just one of those dieting myths, it is actually good to eat carbs at night say if you work out early in the morning.

    Eat som protein like tuna, chicken breast salmon, etc Are you working out too? You need to eat some of your workout calories too so you are fueling your body!

    I made a low-fat, thick bean soup. I used 1.5 cups bagged great northern beans, 2 stalks celery, spices and chicken base (not boullion or canned broth). 280 cal. 48 carbs, 2 fat 18 protein and 10 fiber. I am keeping it in fridge so I can scoop a cup when I'm hungry or need a fill in for calories or fiber.

    Do you have the energy to exercise? Are you going below 20% of your calories? Are you in a plateau? Good luck on this journey,there is really no set of rules and so many debates.

    Hi, I don't know, you may already do this, but it's worth modifying you food to bump up to eating a minimum 1200 calories per day.
    For myself , I base the 1200 on gross calories, not net calories.
    Eat a bigger breakfast
    Change your "no-fat" foods ie miLk, yogurt, chees etc to lo-fat.
    eat more healthy fats like avocados, nuts....that's a very easy way to bump up your calories while making sure your "diet" is nutrtionally sound.
    bump up your protein intake with a scoop or two of protein powder
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers!
