An extremely effective weight loss method is to reduce daily calorie intake to 1,200 calories, but not everyone can do it.

Who is the 1,200 calorie diet for?

The 1,200-calorie diet is often considered the gold standard for weight loss, but it's not right for everyone. Experts recommend that men eat no less than 1,500 calories a day, while some women can do well on a 1,200-calorie diet.

Example of a 1,200 calorie diet

1. Breakfast

On a 1,200-calorie diet, you'll spread your calories evenly across meals, including snacks. Breakfast should be around 300 calories. Here are some delicious, nutritious options:

- Oatmeal Pancakes with Apple Cinnamon (~300 calories).

- Fruit yogurt and granola (~330 calories).

- Healthy Omelet with Salmon, Asparagus and Cheese (~320 calories).

- Blueberry Pancakes (~310 calories).

2. Lunch

Try to stick to the 400-calorie range when choosing your lunch:

- Protein-rich salad + 1 slice of sourdough toast + 1 teaspoon of butter (~383 calories).

- Grilled cheese with sauteed mushrooms + 2 tangerines (~410 calories).

- Chicken fried rice (~390 calories).

3. Afternoon snack

You can still have an afternoon snack on a 1,200-calorie diet. Look for options around 100 calories that are high in fiber and protein:

- 10 small pieces of carrots (~105 calories).

4. Dinner

Dinner is when many people want to consume the most calories. You can allocate about 400 to 500 calories for your dinner on a 1,200-calorie diet:

- Sweet and spicy stir-fried beef + ¾ cup cooked brown rice (~486 calories).

- Spinach, sausage and pepper pizza (~460 calories).

- Herb-roasted chicken with vegetables (~420 calories).
