A satisfying 1200~ calorie day! So far I’m finding that keeping breakfast and lunch simple makes it easier for me to reach my target, and then I can “splurge” when I cook dinner.


Coffee with cream and sugar (100 calories); two boiled eggs (155 calories); half a cup of low fat cottage cheese with dill, everything bagel seasoning, and cherry tomatoes (100 calories); 3/4 cup Korean-style pot roast with 3/4 cup mashed sweet potato and 3/4 cup rice (850 calories). 1205 calories, 85 g protein. I probably could have eaten more earlier in the day and less for dinner, but that pot roast was too good, you don't even know 🤤 I was really fighting against my urge to get seconds even though I was stuffed

    I do this too, I like to be able to eat more at dinner!! Looks great

    I feel the same way. The days my breakfast is too large, I get more anxiety about what to eat the rest of the day.

    I do this as well, I’m glad I’m not alone! I love waiting to have a bigger dinner because I’m definitely a night eater (since I was a kid) and it makes me happy to be able to share a decent meal with my partner.
