1200 CALORIE MEAL PLAN
    So you’ve decided to try a 1200 calorie diet? Great! Cutting down on your caloric intake can help you shed some
    weight by forcing your body to turn to fat reserves for extra energy. Before you decide to try out a reduced calorie
    meal plan, we recommend speaking to your doctor. We also recommend checking out the EatForHealth.gov.au
    website to get an estimate of your daily energy requirements. The amount of energy you require will depend on
    your gender, age, weight and physical activity level. For example, a 25 year old male weighing 70 kilograms who is
    very active (e.g. a trades person or athlete) requires 3,500 calories a day, while a 45 year old female weighing 80
    kilograms and usually very sedentary during the day (i.e. an office worker) requires 1,800 calories day.
    It’s also important to understand where your calories are coming from. The amount of fat, carbs and protein you
    consume will also have an impact on your metabolism and weight. If you’re ready to try a reduced calorie meal
    plan of 1,200 daily calories – then try out our plan outlined below!
