[quote=Anonymous]1200 calories is actually plenty of food to work with if you cook at home. Take something simple like salads. Restaurant salad easily has upwards of 1000 calories because of heavy toppings and sauces. Make your own, pack it FULL of produce, maybe some nuts and cheese for umami, plenty of herbs and spices for flavor, and dress it lightly with salt and lemon juice. You'd be hard pressed to top 400 calories with that salad, and it will keep you full most of the day. Same principle applies with everything else -- use fresh ingredients, learn how to season properly, and you don't need the heavy doses of sugar and butter that restaurants use to make food taste good. Alternatively, you can decide that you're being neurotic over eight pounds, and enjoy actually living your life without obsessing over every morsel.[/quote]
