I would love to make some new friends who have open diaries and are trying to stay with a 1200 calorie diet. Some days I find it somewhat easy and other days I really struggle so I would love some new ideas!

    If you're using the 1200 calorie limit set automatically by MFP for a "2 lb a week" weight loss with a sedentary lifestyle, it might not be necessary for you.

    Best bet is to find out your TDEE. You can customize your calorie and macro goals on MFP.

    Hi! I'm new to this- just 5 days in. MFP set my calorie goal automatically to 1200 calories. I'm having a little trouble adjusting my meals to that and I think I'm always around 100 calories more.

    What exactly is a TDEE?

    TDEE= Total Daily Energy Expenditure, the amount of calories you eat to maintain your current weight. You can subtract a certain percent from this (10-20%) and eat that amount every day to lose weight. But you do not eat your exercise calories back, exercise is included in this method.

    Thanks! I didn't see the response!

    @brainymedstudent , to calculate your TDEE, there are several websites you can look at. You can do a quick Google Search for "TDEE Calculator" or a couple that I've used in the past is: http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ or http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

    Then, once I have my TDEE, I customize my calorie and macro (fat, protein, fiber, etc) goals by going into "Goals" and click "Edit" under "Daily Nutrition Goals".

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Unless you're severly obese, there is no need for a 1,200 calorie diet! Fuel yourselves!
