I don't have recipes as I'm a fly by the seat of my pants type of cook. If I see a recipe online, I usually just make it my own way. I currently eat 1200-1300 calories and usually very little meat, so I choose foods that will give me both fiber and protein. I also like volume eating so I tend to pack in the veggies. What I enjoy about eating in this calorie range is stretching my creativity when cooking. I love sweets and snacks, but I also want to eat homemade, nutrient rich foods that are wallet friendly and easy to make. I hope my dinner slideshow highlights that 1200 doesn't have to be sad, tiny meals, but that you can eat something like this for multiple meals and be fine!
