[quote=Anonymous]The calorie level on many of the applications is selected by the amount of weight and the time frame you are trying to lose it. I have found 1200 calories is not realistic for me and I end up getting home famished and then eat all the things I shouldn't. So I up my calorie intake, add daily exercise, a fitbit to keep me "honest" and then track my food intake, also have a cheat sheet with a quick check off for fruit/veggie servings. I also find that once I start exercising I'm much more likely to keep likely to stay true to my food intake - I know how hard it is to burn calories and when you see you only burned 100 calories with walking 30 minutes you realize that you can't have that slice of cake and lose weight. My best results have been - food tracking, exercise daily and weekly weigh ins. I do cheat on the weekends - like mentioned I pick one meal to give myself extra calories and then I'm back to routine for the others. I also find I'm better about food during the week and better about exercise on the weekends but keeping track of both has helped me lose weight. [/quote]
