I didn’t take too many calories today! Making beans was a good idea.

It hit 14C here. Our bushes out front are confused, they are trying to bud out. That means it will freeze, kill the buds, and no lilacs this spring.

Damn it.

I’ve decided to eat 1200 calories a day and 2 times a week I’ll have 1400. I was eating 1600 but I’ve maintained the same weight for the last 2 years eating that way. I always lose weight at 1200 calories. For me it’s like some kind of magic number. It’s weird.

I’m grabbing a burger, so I guess my calories are shot, too.

AI Overview

A 1200-calorie daily diet is generally considered too low for most adults and is

not universally healthy or sustainable for women

. While it may be appropriate for small, sedentary women looking to lose weight, it often leads to nutrient deficiencies, extreme hunger, slowed metabolism, and fatigue.

Key Considerations:

  • Too Restrictive: The average woman needs roughly 1,800–2,400 calories per day to maintain weight. 1200 calories is considered the lower limit for short-term, medically supervised weight loss.

  • Risks: Chronic, extreme calorie restriction (like 1200 calories) can cause dizziness, headaches, hair loss, gallstones, and metabolic adaptation (where your body burns fewer calories, making it harder to maintain weight loss).

  • Who it Might Suit: It may be appropriate for short-term use by individuals who are very short, sedentary, or older with lower metabolic needs.

  • Better Approach: Focus on a moderate, sustainable calorie deficit, typically 500–700 calories below your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), rather than a strict 1200-calorie limit.

It is recommended to consult a doctor or registered dietitian before starting a low-calorie diet to ensure it meets your nutritional need

@77nick77 i eat fruits, veggies, protein, and gluten free grains, plus non dairy yogurt. Based on how I eat, my dr has approved a 1200 calorie diet multiple times. It’s the only way I’ve ever managed to lose weight.

One time, I signed up for a program at a hospital. They put me on a 600 calorie diet I was supposed to stay on for 3 months. I tried but was absolutely starving so I quit.

Drs will approve a 1200 calorie diet in females (males shouldn’t go below 1500) if the diet is diverse with lots of different nutrients
