I'm 5'5". I have lost weight eating more calories in the past, but for the past 2 months I've been following a 1200 calorie/5 meal program and its been working really well for me.

chicken and turkey look like just the ticket- thanks!

A nutritionist told me to go for 30g protein for breakfast- not sure if it is worthwhile advice but I thought Id give it a try and see how I feel. 150-300 calories because I'm eating 1200 calories a day in 5 meals and would prefer to save my calories for later in the day.

I like to interval run. Typically if it has been more than a month from not running I will start with run 3 minutes, walk 2 minutes (repeat for however long). When my run is over I evaluate how I did and decide what tomorrow's interval will be- more/less walking in the intervals or more/less running in the intervals.

Mine is open- not too exciting, but honest. About 1400 cal per day, eating back any exercise.

Love this!

As far as I know, if you add exercise calories to your diary MFP will add the to your daily goals. You could log your exercise and set the calorie burn as 0.

Welcome! Are you counting calories? Weight loss is not about what you eat (nutrition), but about how many calories you eat.

I have seen pictures of great body changes when people start lifting heavy. I would prefer not to join a gym or buy weights and wondering if bodyweight exercises are a reasonable alternative.

If you open your diary we may be able to give better feedback

Great goal- you can totally do it!! For me, the key was completely planning my meals once a week with a mind to keeping the meals as easy as possible to prepare while in my nutrition/calories range. When I was too busy I just reused a previous week’s meal plan. I would do all my shopping once a week so I wouldn’t have to…

These look great- have you run with either or something similar?

Maybe protein supplements? You may want to research your protein goals- I have read that 1 gram per lean body mass is the most you need. I have a set protein goal (in my head) and if my exercise calories in MFP up my protein goal to a number I cant reasonably eat I don't sweat it too much. BTW- Greek yogurt is a good…

This helped me a lot when I was trying to figure out how many calories to eat http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

If I am preparing the food myself and starting with raw meat I weigh it raw and log it as raw meat. If I am starting with cooked meat (ie a rotisserie chicken) I weigh it cooked (obviously) and log it as it is (ie rotisserie chicken with the skin removed).

Change the sugar limit to what you think is reasonable/healthy. I upped mine a lot because I was sick of seeing the red when I ate fruit and I knew I was not eating added/refined sugar.
