1200 calories. OMG!! too few!!
Hun, here is something that you need to calculate what you actually need. Most diets fail as women bloody starve themselves!!!!
WHy make it any harder than it need to be!!
BMR (Basal metabolic rate) based off total body weight
Women BMR=665 + (9.6 x weight in kg) + (1.8 x height in cm) - (4.7 x age in years)
NEVER DROP YOUR CALORIES BELOW YOUR BASAL METABOLIC RATE OR YOUR BODY WILL THINK IT IS STARVING!!!! AS SOON AS YOU START EATING AGAIN, IT WILL JUST STORE ALL THE FOOD AS FAT!!!!
To figure out how many cals you need each day, multiply the BMR by your activity level
sedentary BMR x 1.2
lightly active BMR x 1.375
mod active BMR x 1.55
very active BMR x 1.725
Extreme activ BMR x 1.9
To lose weight, take about 10-20% off of your total calories required for the day. If you have been eating too many, OR TO FEW, don't just jump to the calories, do it gradually, as our bodies are SO BLOODY EFFICIENT AT STORING FAT!!
There is a better formula based on lean tissue, need a fairly accurate body fat measurement.
I have become ripped to shreds eating between 1800-2900/day!!
I mix my macronutrient rations up AND have seriously high Cal days, like blow it out to about 4000 kcal/day on a good cheat day off season so my metabolism does not slow down!!!
All this stuff can be found in most of the books by CHris Aceto, and in Tom Venuto's Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle! \
I am on a competition diet now, going to have to start that tedious weighing of things and calculating macronutrient ratios, I have a few 'set' meals now that I know the cal content, at least two of my meals are the same pretty much all year round!! I can 'eyeball' 40 g of oatmeal and 100 ml of soyamilk now, no problem!!
