I'm not actually eating 1000cals a day, I know that would be unrealistic and unsustainable! I set my goal to 1000 on MFP so that I'd know when I was nearing my goal (by turning red) which is actually more 1200-1300cals a day. I can see why my diary is misleading though!

I am only 5' 1.5" so I'm very short. I also work at a desk 5 days of the week!

Thank you for all the fantastic advice! It's going to be difficult to avoid peanut butter and avocado (they're my absolute favourites!), but you're right, they are hefty in calories and I do think I need to limit them. :'( I am actually very interested in gaining muscle once I've lost the extra flab - Any tips?! :)

I think planning my after-work/pre-gym snack is the way to go! That combination does sound delicious! I set MFP to sedentary as I do work at a desk all day. If I do a particularly big walk with the dog at the weekend (2+ hours) I may let myself eat slightly over 1200. Do you think I should still be allowing myself more?

I weigh the peanut butter if I have it my porridge oats for breakfast, but sometimes I literally just scoop out a spoonful and eat it :/ Then I will just estimate (Awful habit, I know)!

Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely try sipping on herbal teas throughout the evenings (I love teas!). As for eating vegetarian this month, I am doing it with the view of eventually transitioning to a fully veggie diet (or at least pescatarian). It's a sort of trail period I guess haha!
