I have compiled a 3 day 1200 calorie meal plan. I think that the foods I have found are filling and delicious. It is a good way to test out 1200 calorie meal plans also, a lot of people should be consuming at least 1200 calories per day. Yet, many people are consuming so many more calories than that! Take it slow with pre organized 1200 calorie meal plans to ease your way into the lifestyle of eating less calories than you have been. Thats what I have found has worked best for me at least!
