Question

What is a good food plan that involves 1200-1300 calories?

Answer 1

Either 3 meals at subway, or one whooper/big mac.

Answer 2

In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish.   Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts.  Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.  

Make your portion sizes smaller.   Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don't.  About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.  

Learn to count calories.  At your current weight and activity level, you may need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.  

Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals.  Never skip breakfast.  Include some protein in your breakfast.  It will help get you through the day.

Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices.  Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice.  You will begin to see changes in your body.

Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc.  Here are a few helpful links.  And don't forget to incorporate exercise and you can increase your calories to 1500, a healthier level.

Answer 3

i suggest that you consume 2,000- 2500 calories a day because if you dont, your metabolism will slow down and can result in weight gain. plus if you eat this little of an amount, you will feel very tired, dizzy, sick, moody and depressed. dont live your life like that. and there are many health risks involved such as being anemic ( iron defficiancy), heart falure and many more!

i suggest that you eat snacks throughout the day so you arent tempted to binge eat.

meal plann:

brekafast: oatmeal, blueberries, soy milk,

snack: fig newton or some yogert with nuts

lunch: (have a meat) chicken or tuna saled. dont be afraid of dressing! put lots of good veggies in there and some sort of pasta yumm. and almonds help keep a slim figure.

snack: have a little desert! strawberrys with some whip cream on top and a little bit of ice cream or sherbert.

dinner: ( 2 fist fulls of fruites/ veggies, 1 fist full of protein, 1 fist full of simple carbohydrates)

Answer 5

You don't need a food plan when you count calories, you can eat anything....except for fast food and food from restaurants. All you're doing really is limiting how much you eat of the stuff you're eating already.

Just keep track of the calories and spread them out throughout the day. Always look at how many calories things have, eventually you'll know what is high in calories and what is not, and what things fill you up the most while also having little calories.
