Never Starve Again During a 1200 Calories Diet One thing you need to keep in mind that you do not skip on any meals since it can lead to feelings of severe hunger as you reach your next meal and you might cross the 1200 calorie limit. You can divide your plan to consuming 2 150 calorie snacks and then 3 300 calorie meals. The two snack a day plan would fit you if you have been notorious for consuming a lot more calories than this diet recommends. If you are not fond of snacking then you go about consuming 400 calories each meal, or you can adjust your meal calories according to what time of the day you feel the least and most hungry. For example, some people do not feel as famished during breakfast as they do during lunchtime. So you can eat a little less during breakfast and include the calories carrying forward from breakfast into your lunch. Each meal of yours should have 1 – 3 ounces of whole grains, 1-3 ounces of protein, and a cup of vegetables. The proteins are the core of this diet. They will help your body stay healthy internally without letting it react violently to the sudden change of the calories intake. It keeps the blood sugar stable (which causes cravings) and it helps maintain your muscle mass which heavily contributes to your metabolic rate.
