How do you not hate your life?
I eat a little more than this, am not fat, but fine with this. I have things to do and life doesn't revolve around food. Don't you have things you enjoy besides food?
You can enjoy food AND other things in life. They are not mutually exclusive. I love food. And I am not fat either.
Everyone’s food sounds unseasoned. That’s the only alarming thing about all of this
Some people also seem alarmingly low in fats.
That was part of my point. Most of the menus posted here just sound so incredibly bland. Enjoying food does not mean eating the entire buffet at every meal. It is just about appreciating different flavors. Most Europeans enjoy food and they are generally not fat. Most of them are not eating 1200 calories either. A fit, active woman should easily be able to maintain her weight at 2000+ calories, unless she is very small.

I do we and my diet is about 1200 a day
Breakfast : 2 eggs, 1 piece of sourdough bread, fruit
Lunch: Salad with protein (tuna, sardines, chicken, turkey)
snack: cottage cheese with fruit/tomatoes
Dinner: Fish/Chicken and roasted veggies... sometime 1/2 potato or 1 cup of rice.
You very much can.
Breakfast: coffee with half and half, 200g fat free greek yogurt
Lunch: can tuna with 50g fat free greek yogurt, cucumbers
Snack: can sardines; tomato, onion, bell pepper salad
Dinner: 5 oz chicken breast baked; tomato and cucumber salad
Snack: 1 scoop whey protein
That’s about 1200 calories, 150g protein.
I don’t even think this is 1000.
True. Build around the protein. Add in 1TB olive oil for chicken. 1 piece dark chocolate. Even 1 glass wine. Now you hit your protein goals and can add in a few things that you like for flexibility. Or not, and eat a little more flexible on the weekend.
I should add - this is specifically for cutting/losing fat purposes. Would not and could not be able to eat like this year round. Also eat more fats in luteal stage through beginning of period if you tend to get hungry around that time.

I just eat small portions but I'm not always making healthy choices, especially when work is crazy. When I go out I grg veggies and fish. Long day in the office I'm living on power bars and coffee. With kids I eat a small amount of the pasta I make them.

This is one of the saddest posts I've seen on DCUM.
Are the people on the permanent <1200 calorie no-carb diets trying to maintain a BMI of 15 or something? I'm an average sized person (5'4, 118, over 50) with a desk job and I need 2000+ calories to maintain this weight. I get 60 to 90 minutes of moderate exercise 5 or 6 days a week. I don't think I would have the energy to move if I were eating mostly canned fish, non fat yogurt, and raw veggies.

Pp here. Me at to add I just eat regular food, focusing on fiber-heavy vegetarian meals and lots of vegetables and fruits.

I used to count my calories religiously at 1200-1300. It began to feel obsessive so now I just aim to eat approximately the same amount of food as I did back then but without all the tracking. It is much saner this way, and I haven’t gained. If I eat out, I eat 1/3-1/2 my plate and — when appropriate— take the remainder home for another day.
