This is 1200 for me. No sugar added or anything. The beverages are mostly water with a tsp of creamer.

This does not look like 1200. Are you counting/measuring correct?

Don’t eat peanut butter and eat more veggies and fruits.

nuts and nut butter ): I only have a tablespoon of PB at breakfast and never eat nuts cuz they’re so goddamn caloric

nuts are a great source of healthy fats, but they also have a lot of calories.

You’re eating calorically dense foods!

Step 1: don’t eat peanut butter. It’s a horrible horrible step, but it’s essential.

Nuts (walnuts, pistachios, and peanut butter) are accounting for over 20% of your total calorie intake. I would ditch the nuts and swap out the peanut butter for PBFit peanut butter powder (and also swap the bagel for Killer Dave’s thin sliced bread which would save you almost 200 calories).

I would’ve skipped the peanut butter and creamer completely, had half the amount of nuts which would give you at least 300 calories which would be a pretty nice salad.

Take a look at r/VolumeEating! You want your plate to be mostly veggies & grains as that’ll keep you full longer and it’s nutrient dense. You want high fiber and high protein!

I eat a lot of meat and minimal grains/starch. Chicken breast and steak are lower calorie than bread. Just don’t use oil when airfrying or grilling.

Swap your bagel out, bread is calorie dense

Cut out nuts, add more protein such as egg whites and cottage cheese to your breakfast to make you feel fuller. I microwave my eggs and scramble them so I dont need extra oil to cook them. I eat potatoes as carbs, and limit bread to one slice (half a bagel) or 50g-60g cooked rice per meal. I don’t drink my calories as well, I’ll just have green tea or water. For dinner I usually have 200g chicken (raw weight) along with veggies (steamed broccoli) or make a soup or stew with meat and veggies. Eat fruit and yoghurt or biersticks/chorizo as snack.

Peanut butter, bagel, banana and nuts there’s like 400 cal for you to eat eggs, chicken, veggies and grains

Maybe just eat on smaller plates so it feels like more lmao cause no shade at all but the fruit on the plate just looks a little sad!

Things like oats, strawberries, watermelon and jelly are all foods you can have in high volume for very low calories

i keep seeing everyone say nuts and the PB: if the pb is something that’s a total craving for you i suggest trying out pbfit. it’s not an exact replica of course but it’s pretty good and two tbsp is like, 60cals. when i make it to put on like protein waffles or whatever i make it slightly thinner than recommended so i feel like i get even more “bang for my buck” here lol

The bread, very small amount peanut butter, and a pretty small serving of nuts add up to close to 400 calories. Whether that feels satisfactory or not is up to you. But if ur close to starving, either increase ur calorie budget or eat a lower calorie bread(or no bread at all) and maybe no/less nuts

Don’t eat the peanut butter and nuts, optionally even cut out the half banana lol. They’re great for you though. Cut out the bagel. Add yogurt, cottage cheese.

Seriously ! I go over if I eat one extra almond 😂

For the past like, 15 years, my number one rule for counting calories for weight loss or maintenance is NO NUTS. I cannot think of a single food more calorically dense.

No peanut butter

Ummm… Get rid of the calorie dense nuts and peanut butter. You could bulk up on vegetables and lean proteins instead.

The dinner/lunch looks okay, but I’d sub beans/lentils for the side bread. No regular peanut butter for snacks lol (PB2 mixed in with greek yogurt is my favorite substitute, personally). I’d change your breakfast to no nuts/seeds, berries no bananas, egg whites mixed with one whole egg (or reduced calorie liquid egg cartons!) and add more vegetables (spinach, kale, tomatoes, onions).
One of the biggest tricks for me to eat in a deficit has been increasing my protein and fiber. It keeps you fuller longer.

Don’t add invisible calories to stuff. That peanut butter comes at a price, as does milk in your drinks and cream in dishes. It adds up SO fast.
– use cooking methods without much extra fat – eat only very small amounts of nuts – get your carbs through high fiber options (or high glycemic index foods) – 50% veggies and berries – pair protein fat and carbs in every meal to get the optimal mix of quick, but long term satiation
It’s easy to list these things. It’s hard to practice them.

Not to be mean but your food choices are awful. Dense in calories and fat, low in protein.
Especially the peanut butter, sweat potato, nuts, and is that butter on that potato I see?
Focus on hitting a high protein with lean sources. Fruits and veg follow shortly there after.

I love peanut butter. But I can trade that spoonful for a whole lot of strawberries, pickles, cucumbers, watermelon, etc. (not together of course) for the same amount of calories.

It’s just not worth the trade off.
