Do you eat 800 to 1200 calories per day? Please Come In!!



Recommended Posts

I am trying to get up to 1200 calories per day. I have only made it once but I am aiming for it. I really don't want to lose too fast. I think that if I do my skin will be a problem. Anyway, rarely hungry and it is great!

I use my plate to count calories.

I eat anywhere from 1500-2000 calories a day depending on what my activity level is like. Like losing said, I get really light headed and shaky if I eat 1500 calories, then go to my spin class and work out with my trainer for an hour. I need the extra calories, sometimes I even have to bring a snack (protein bar or string cheese) with me to the gym to have in between sessions. There are some days when I do nothing at all, so I try to limit my intake on those days...the lowest I have ever been is around 1300 calories. Any less and I starve! It also depends who you ask as I have found, my trainer wants me at 2000 calories, my nutritionist wants me at 1800 calories and my surgeon wants me at 1500 calories. I just picked the number in the middle.

I use My Daily Plate and love it. mydailyplate.com

That site is cool! I just checked it out and spent too much time there getting set up :-) It's just like when I journaled on the Weight Watcher's site only free!

I'm so impressed I may just spring for the year subscription.

Thanks!

I eat about 1000 calories a day...on a good day. Most of the time I can't get there. I don't count calories everyday, just on the days when I haven't eaten much and need to know what to fix for dinner. I don't diet, and eat whatever I want, just not much of it. For example, we went to the cheesecake factory for lunch this weekend and I ate 2 1/2 pieces of orange chicken, 1/2 piece of bread, and 6 bites of pumpkin cheesecake and I was not hungry for the rest of the day. I actually have to force myself to eat. When I do count calories, I use fitday.com

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
