5'2 female. I lost weight at 1200 but now in maintenance around 1400. Being vegetarian helps with my low calorie eating. But I have to be careful to eat nutrtionally dense or healthier foods that have vitamins I need, otherwise my hair falls out more and I get dark circles around my eyes. If I excercise, I eat half those…

Lack of vitamin D and/or B12. Culprits of being veg. Doc can probably prescribe it.

I am vegetarian, half my food intake is fruits and vegetables yes I log everything. It makes a difference.

It's best if you can make the plate yourself spread it out, not pile high so it looks like a lot. Take everything at once so you don't have to go back for seconds...eat slowly. Work out before so you feel like you deserve this amazing food. Or eat less before hand so you have your calories saved for this special dinner. If…

Can of your favorite beans and your favorite frozen veggies. Add water and Mexican seasoning and bring to boil. Many ways to serve this. Enjoy with a tortilla OR on top of quinoa OR rice OR top it with lettuce, salsa and cheese. Switch up the beans and veggies for variety. Next time use Italian herbs for the seasoning. U…

I think he's gaining muscle and losing fat. Muscle weighs more so the body weight scale isn't moving as much. Just keep it up. You both are doing well. And I love how both of you are on this journey together and support each other. Partner goals :)

Fruits are high in sugar so maybe not the best idea as a meal. Fruits as snack or side of meal is good idea. Also I would not feel full if I only had fruits for dinner. It's best to have a balanced meal like roti and vegetables and daal. If you are concerned about calories just eat less roti.

You are doing everything right. Weigh urself in 5 weeks I promise you will see the weight difference. Usually I don't see a weight difference in myself every week...but every month yes!!

If you have an Open diary feel free to add me...mine is open as well and I am always looking for food ideas on this frustrating low cal goal. I'm 5'2.

I take a tablespoon of acv with a glass of water when I can't control my cravings. It kills my hunger spells so I eat less. It does make me feel full and stop thinking about food...maybe it's a mental thing??? I do this once a week when I feel the need.

Vegetarian all my life. I get protein from beans and lentils and yogurt and cottage cheese my fav snack.

5'2 and started at 130 currently 118 few more to go ...would love to see some low cal diaries.

We have similar stats and goals. I also have 1200 cal goal. Some days I burn 400 cal doing cardio and eat back 200 Cals so I get it eat 1400 that day.

Been vegetarian my whole life. Looking for friends and motivation. With such low calorie goal I need to choose wisely...
